Huh, I wonder how many area ICE/HHS/ATF #Texas officers and the fake private contractor squad rounding up “illegals” could have been redeployed in mid of night

Early reports indicate the beleaguered NWS did its job. It was Texas officials who seem to have failed to properly warn the public. There is a 4+ hour gap between the NWS alert & the first Texas govt alert. Read this from local TV news outlet KXAN:
www.kxan.com/investigatio...

KERR COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) – Social media posts piece together a timeline of apparent delays in public notification by government officials in Kerr County, as devastating flood waters rose on the Guadalupe River early Friday morning.
13+ fatalities in Kerr County, 20+ children missing from camp after flooding

While the National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning at 1:14 a.m. for portions of that area, it would be hours before the city and county’s Facebook pages posted their initial urgent directions for residents from local authorities.

The first came from the Kerrville Police Department, reposting an NWS alert at 5:16 a.m., adding: “Anyone near the Guadalupe River needs to move to higher ground now. Local streets are flooded in town and low water crossings are impassable. Do not drive into water.”

At 5:31 a.m., Kerr County posted: “Be safe and move to higher ground. Do not drive through water. Turn Around – Don’t Drown!”

Hey #Wisconsin, big win for clean water. Supreme Court ruled that DNR can regulate PFAs, corporations are NOT happy.

While Trump uses LA to deflect from his threats to democracy, Senate Dems are still doing the work.

Sen. Andy Kim lays out this week’s Big 3:
1) Pete Hegseth’s senate hearings
2) the brutal Recissions package
3) budget reconciliation fights that shape everything.

Stay focused

How does a lie become “common sense” & eventually the law?
Not by truth, but rather by coordination.
Here’s how a fake claim goes from one think tank to local news, to churches, to Congress, to your uncle’s Facebook, until it feels like fact.

🚨 WTH is wrong with people!

Do Governors & their families not eat!

GA is following ND & removing the right to sue for damages caused by chemicals in our food!

Dismantling the EPA has opened the flood gates!

This 📽️🎞️ highlights implications & what you can do!

Democrats have been saying it for months

And here it is-in black and white for all to see

Republicans want to cut $715 billion from Medicaid

Ripping away insurance from 13.7 million Americans

Just to give billionaires like Elon Musk another tax break

Don't
Mess
With
Medicaid

Ryan Walters runs education for a whole state and says conservatives love their country, like Democrats don’t.

Teaching that 2020 was a stolen election in the Oklahoma public school curriculum should be a deal breaker for us all!

Trump doesn’t give a damn about coal, or the workers. He cares about the coal industry, not the coal miners.

The fact that miners still back him while he strips away their protections is exactly why people call MAGA a cult. No grip on reality.

It is amazing! I just learned that the reason we have asylum is because we denied Jews access to citizenship. I think I think it was Chris Murphy for learning that. He starts at 3:11. He talks about asylum around 6:30 youtu.be/CtACcy9oriA?...

These 15 MAGA Republicans will sell out their own constituents to fund tax breaks to the rich.

They are willing to let their constituents DIE and cut Medicaid to do this.

Light up those phones! For sure, call Lawler, Fitzpatrick, Barrett, and Bacon.
