Tragedy in Texas hill country, where 4 months’ worth of rain in just four hours caused Guadalupe River levels to spike 30 feet in just an hour and a half - in the middle of the night.

Two dozen are dead in the resulting floods and another 20 young campers still missing.

Why the Texas floods were so severe
Flooding rains in and around Kerr County had brought a widespread 10 to 15 total inches by Friday morning. Four months of rainfall came down in four hours.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.

- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.

- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

This is beautiful!
No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

This!
This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

AOC is principled and courageous!
AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care?

There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

It’s about defending democracy!
Grateful to the unions, local governments & nonprofits who filed this suit yesterday to block Trump’s unconstitutional fed workforce cuts.

This isn’t just about jobs — it’s about defending democracy, checks & balances, and the rule of law. Watching this one closely!
Unions, cities, nonprofits sue to block Trump workforce cuts
A coalition of more than two dozen labor unions, cities and nonprofits sued President Donald Trump's administration, claiming that its broad federal workforce cuts were an illegal power grab.

Our fundamentals shouldn’t change…. Well said!
Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

What they said…
A: you’ve been quite harmful lol so that’s dispense with that.

B: you’re a dick. That’s it.

You can’t buy your way or intimidate your way into being cool and you SURE can’t just be a dick from a privileged position and have everyone worship you.

You’re a bullied little boy inside. We see you
