WELKER: The NYT is reporting that thousands of calls from flood victims to FEMA calls centers went unanswered in the middle of this ongoing disaster because you didn't renew contracts to keep call center staff in place until nearly a week after the floods.

They scored no-bid or “emergency” contracts worth tens of millions—while funneling cash into his political machine.
Pay-to-play isn’t just speculation—it’s backed by the paper trail.

Immigrants take care of our enormous and growing population of elderly folks, many with chronic disease, disabilities, and dementia. We all have aging family members. The pain this will cause will be immense, and felt by almost everyone.

In these difficult times building community, and support for each other, is extremely important. That’s why I’m holding community dances around Vermont.
We just had a great event in Hardwick. People of all ages danced the night away.

Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

Absolutely. And of course, there won’t be an investigation.
If this were a Democratic president, Republicans in Congress would be screaming—market manipulation!

Donald Trump caves on the majority of tariffs that he and his supporters *swore* were good economic policy, over and over again.
This just confirms, yet again, that he doesn't have a f***ing clue what he is doing.

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made.
That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country.
