New in PN: Trump gutted the weather service. Then Texas flooded. "It might seem obvious that a botched disaster would implicate Trump. And yet, for some 50 years, Republicans have been trying to convince people that government only harms and never helps."

Trump gutted the weather service. Then Texas flooded.
It's a brutal reminder that in disasters, we need the federal government.

He called migrants “vermin.” He said they were “poisoning the blood” of our country. Now his GOP cult handed him over $150B for his mass deportation operation that is grabbing people without due process & terrorizing communities—an evil agenda built on lies. www.americaamerica.news/p/the-escala...

Trump's new legislation funds mass deportation—and his loathsome desires—to a staggering degree. We should not be suprised.

The crackdown on opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza has become the excuse in most western democracies for some of the fiercest repression of speech, assembly, and expression in modern world history. Like watching a global crack down on opposition to the holocaust or the Rwandan genocide.
