If we don't let poor children starve, who will the conservative Christians feel superior to?

Republicans are vile savages and will never be anything but harmful to civilization and decency.

"NEW: the Trump admin has moved to terminate TPS for Honduras & Nicaragua, covering >50K ppl.

Both of these designations date back to 1999, meaning Trump wants to strip legal status from ppl here legally who've had a background check every 18 months for the last 26 yrs.

They're the single-most proven compliant noncitizens in the country -yet Trump/Miller wants to have them purged anyway."

"When tornados recently swept through Missouri and Tennessee and Kentucky, there were a few reports about local NWS office staffing shortages. The reports were explained away the next day by Caroline Leavitt at the White House saying that the cuts had not affected 'overnight' staffing at local offices."

According to Heather Cox Richardson, the forecasts were accurate but the storm changed abruptly and:

"former NWS officials ... told Christopher Flavelle of the New York Times that the problem appeared to be that NWS had lost the staffers who would typically communicate with local authorities to spread the word of dangerous conditions. Molly Taft at Wired confirmed that NWS published flash flood warnings but safety officials didn’t send out public warnings until hours later."

"The journalists also note that the Trump administration's 2026 budget calls for eliminating 'all of NOAA’s weather and climate research labs along with institutes jointly run with universities around the country.'”

3 of 4 When Trump finally gets off the golf course, could someone please tell him these girls are missing and presumed dead because of him.

Beshear on Trump's bill: "It's the single worst piece of legislation I've seen in my lifetime and it is a congressional Republican and presidential attack on rural America. In my state alone, 200k are gonna lose their coverage ... 20k healthcare workers are gonna lose their jobs, and we've got up to 35 rural hospitals that may close."

Maybe we shouldn’t be asking for “universal healthcare” but instead just say, “Every American should have the same healthcare as members of Congress. After all, they pay for it.”

if the President has the ability to nullify laws, then the US is in theory and practice, a dictatorship.

"Dachau was the first step on the road to atrocity. Will America go there? Eight months ago, I would have said never. At that point, America was still a nation under the rule of law. Now, we have politicians cheering the image of people being fed to alligators" and "selling swag celebrating the construction of an American concentration camp."

"No state has a longer, more profit-driven history of contracting prisoners out to private companies than Alabama."

"...it has constructed a template for the commercialization of mass incarceration."

"Best Western, Bama Budweiser and Burger King are among the more than 500 businesses to lease incarcerated workers from one of the most violent, overcrowded and unruly prison systems in the U.S. in the past five years alone..."

Massive Russian Attacks!

Putin commits this outrage because he has every confidence that Trump will fail to exact ANY price.

Trump might compose an angry social media post, but Putin is clearly convinced that nothing more will happen

With his inaction, Trump shows Putin that his America is content to leave Kyiv defenceless against Russian air attacks

Putin responded logically and ordered his biggest assault yet. By withholding Patriots, Trump gave Putin a green light.
