There are no press releases during the shutdown, making it difficult to find this kind of news.
But the AK Air/Army National Guards, and the USCG, are conducting SAR operations. The flooding is in remote areas, and affecting primarily small villages, it appears.

You gotta give ‘em hop.

There are lots of guilty "important people" in and associated with DC. Their pressure on Johnson is stronger than the people's demand for the truth.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Fuck 'em all! The poorest 25% of Americans are used to getting screwed by the 1% & politicians. WE KNOW how to survive on squat. We're looking forward to watching the wealthy have to mow their own lawns & scrub their own toilets. They'll never acknowledge they willingly let trump screw them over.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."
