The 15 disasters include 13 severe weather events, one winter storm, and one flooding event that have caused 113 fatalities and nearly $40 billion in damages. #BillionDollarDisasters #ClimateChange #NOAA https://scrippsnews.com/stories/us-hit-by-a-record-number-of-billion-dollar-disasters-so-far-this-year/

I'm pretty worried that he'll convince his co-conspirators in Congress to shut down our government next month 😢
Maybe, Jack Smith's cases against the sitting members of Congress are close enough to bring indictments, but I'm still not sure if that would stop the GOP from harming the USA in order to protect their cult leader.
@RickiTarr @BeAware Wow! You're right. It's recently much worse though. I wonder if people aren't getting so used to nasty snark and sarcasm that they've got no idea any more how to handle normal, human concern for one another. Social media was the first casualty. Hope it doesn't overwhelm mastodon too!

@AlliFlowers my 16 year passed away last year, so I now have an 8 yr old and a 3 year old. My first was a rescue, (I was always a dog person) but I did purchase the other 2 once I realized what a joy cats can be. Takes a tad getting used to the difference lol
U.S. Senator Tina Smith warned my SiriusXM radio show that it's not just Trump who is a threat to democracy but also State GOP officials as well. https://youtu.be/qh-PTpxUBkU
