Gov. Pritzker says Trump has again denied FEMA disaster relief for Illinois, following the July/August flash floods that affected 187.5K people (mostly low-income households, with 40% elderly/disabled). Claims denials are politically driven.

Trump refused to send disaster aid to Chicago after 2 devastating storms
The destruction caused by the summer storms was enough that past presidents likely would have approved requests for federal assistance, former FEMA officials said.

A horrifying graphic from Pew showing the fruits of the right wing war on public health.

Only 48% of Republicans believe that vaccines prevent serious illness, while 80% of Democrats do.

This is not a difference of opinion in science. This is the result of a ruthless disinformation campaign.

When we choose fame, size, our own comfort, or success, our preferred system—in doing so we say, “Away with Him…crucify Him, kill Him…we have no king but Caesar.” Those who said those words chose earthly power over Christ, and in doing so, they chose their master.

By God she’s hard to look at.
“I would like to say humbly that I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics,” Greene told CNN host Dana Bash on Sunday morning. “It’s very bad for our country. And it’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.”
Don’t be fooled: Marjorie Taylor Greene still wants to reconcile with Trump

Seems like a pretty straightforward and irrefutable point 👉

"By 2030, he's not gonna be the president and you will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don't vote to release those files."
Massie: "I would remind my Republican colleagues who are decided how to vote, Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now by giving you an endorsement, but by 2030, he's not gonna be the president and you will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don't vote to release those files."

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.

Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.

Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

The email that’s most newsworthy in my mind is the one that Epstein sent to Ghislaine Maxwell in 2011.

1. This was years before Trump ran for office.

2. It appears that Ghislaine Maxwell lied to DOJ officials during her meeting with them a couple months ago.
