Give this guy a medal

To the “I voted for this” crowd:

You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet.

McMahon: I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

Today is the day we honor those who died overseas stopping the same thing many of you are ignoring here at home--fascism.

In times like this, integrity matters. Well done 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

Top lawyers walked out of Paul Weiss to start their own firm—right after the firm cut a shady deal with the White House to dodge an executive order that would’ve limited its business.

Some folks still have a spine.
