To the “I voted for this” crowd: You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters. That’s what you voted for?

My deepest sympathies to our neighbors in Texas. More than 30 confirmed deaths due to flooding from the last report I saw. The fact that Republicans in Texas are blaming the weather service *that they defunded* shows the height of their cruelty and hypocrisy. 1/2

Across the Hill Country of central Texas today, rescue workers are urgently searching for the missing after a wall of water rushed through an area known as "Flash Flood Alley" in the early morning hours of July 4th.

So Texas officials are blaming the National Weather Service for the lack of warning and resulting death toll from the flooding and not the massive cuts from the government to the National Weather Service that impacted their ability to give more advanced and detailed warning. 👌

🧵1/3 On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass asked a question that still echoes: “What to the slave is the Fourth of July?” He exposed the deep hypocrisy of celebrating freedom in a nation built on bondage. 173 years later, that question still demands an answer. Please watch the 2nd part in thread

I truly hope this puts a definitive end to the perpetual insistence by Democrats that they can compromise with Republicans. You can't. These people are extreme, depraved, and shameless. They just stripped healthcare from 17 million people to give themselves a tax cut.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Miscarriage Is Increasingly Dangerous for Women in Texas, Our Analysis Shows. Here’s How We Did It.
Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.
