Trump sending the National Guard to blue cities to "stop crime," after refusing to send them to the Capitol to stop the insurrectionists' crimes on J6, is peak Republican hypocrisy.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

Trump's dementia is so bad that he does not remember that he was President on January 6, 2021 and watched the insurrectionists he invited to violence. President Trump watched his Proud Boys, Oathkeepers that he arranged to attack the Capitol Building to keep Congress from certifying electoral votes

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Machado Wins the Nobel. Americans Make It About US Identity Politics.

Her win shines a light on authoritarianism in Venezuela — and on the USA’s inability to see beyond its own partisan battles.
