Search-and-rescue crews were βflying blindβ trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMAβs $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.
A win! A federal judge in Rhode Island has directed the government to reinstate a union contract covering more than 300,000 Veterans Affairs employees after the Trump administration attempted to end the agreement in August.
Most California voters support the stateβs newly proposed billionaire tax, according to new polling.
Meanwhile, rich Californians are plotting a $500M slush fund to influence the state's politics.
So they can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections?
See the problem...
JUST IN: Judge Shah in Illinois has blocked the Trump admin from yanking $600m in public health funds from four blue states, saying it appeared to be a βcontrivedβ and illegal effort to punish them for sanctuary immigration policies storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Proof that SAVE Act is about disenfranchising voters. He's terrified to lose the midterms.

Dutch shipowners have been refusing to recognize the Persian Gulf as a war zone for well over a week. It has been agreed in the seafarers' collective labor agreement that they should receive double pay when sailing through a war zone. www.transport-online.nl/120635/vakbo...
Republicans are focusing in on a Corey Lewandowski adviser in their DHS contracting investigation. Sources tell NOTUS that Kara Voorhies had an outsized influence over FEMA contracts.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the βerasure of white cultureβ. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.
No, weβre not going to stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles. Last week I described a connection I discovered between the dark worlds of Epstein and Playboy. After receiving some disturbing tips, I followed up with this video. DO YOUR JOB, DOJ!
