Don't let Trump convince you that he has “lifted people off of food stamps.” He cut the program and took food AWAY from people.
He didn’t lift anyone off of anything.
The Grand Jury report is clear: Moody, DeSantis, and Uthmeier robbed funds meant to give kids healthcare and sent it to the Florida Republican Party and their own PACs. They stole taxpayer dollars for political gain. It’s blatant corruption.
Everyone involved must be criminally prosecuted for this cruel greed. Charges must be filed without delay.
John Morales, a meteorologist and hurricane specialist with NBC6 in South Florida, was reporting on an upcoming storm when he suddenly shifted gears, right in the middle of the broadcast.
Morales explains that in his 34 years of presenting the weather, he’s always been able to confidently tell his viewers when a hurricane might hit, or when it might turn away. He’s always been able to stand behind his data, modeling, and forecast in order to help protect the people of South Florida.
“I am here to tell you that I am not sure I can do that this year.”
Why? “Because of the cuts, the gutting, the sledgehammer attack on science in general.”
Morales then pulled up a graphic instead of his usual weather map. It laid out some stark realities about severe understaffing of the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Between brutal layoffs, employees accepting the recent DOGE buyout, and straight-up resignations, the agencies responsible for collecting weather data have lost hundreds and hundreds of valuable experts.
He also explained that due to federal government budget cuts, there’s been a sizable decrease in weather balloon launches across the country. Weather balloons are instruments that take crucial measurements of the upper atmosphere and send data that helps with forecasting. With less data available and lower-quality data, Morales says that “the quality of forecasts is becoming degraded.”
Grand jury finds DeSantis administration "misappropriated" $10 million meant for health insurance for low income children and steered it to political action committees. It also concluded that Ashley Moody, who was attorney general, was aware of this.

BREAKING: Braun REJECTS federal summer meal dollars for 2027 — the third-straight year. Indiana Republicans hoard a $4 billion surplus but can’t find $12 million in administrative costs to get $100 million in meal funding from the feds for over 650,000 Hoosier children.
The stories and photographs from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely and help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. https://t.co/TIVqbA9k9O
Cuts to food services supported by Erin Houchin and all Indiana Republicans have forced a food bank that served hundreds of families in New Albany to close. No Hoosier should go hungry in the richest country on the planet.

I guess it’s just an amazing coincidence that basically every decision related to politics helps Republicans, and every decision related to regulation helps fossil fuel polluters.

While the President sends more American troops to the Middle East, the price of everything - groceries, gas, mortgages - keeps rising.
Let’s be clear: we are worse off today, and no safer, than before this unnecessary war began.
90% of married women have name changes that don't match their birth certificates. Trump’s SAVE Act isn't 'securing' anything—it’s purging women from the polls. VOTE NO. #SaveActIsPayToVote
The @EPA no longer exists. Its actions yesterday were an act of appeasement for the oil and gas industry, the very sector it’s meant to oversee.
@POTUS doesn’t care about your health or your child’s health. Society will bear the costs of this selfishness.

What has unfolded in Minneapolis this past month betrays our most basic values as Americans. We are not a nation that guns down our citizens in the street. We are not a nation that allows our citizens to be brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights. We are not a nation that tramples the 4th Amendment and tolerates our neighbors being terrorized. The people of Minnesota have stood strong — helping community members in unimaginable circumstances, speaking out against injustice when they see it, and holding our government accountable to the people. Minnesotans have reminded us all what it is to be American, and they have suffered enough at the hands of this Administration. Violence and terror have no place in the United States of America, especially when it’s our own government targeting American citizens.
No single person can destroy what America stands for and believes in, not even a President, if we — all of America — stand up and speak out. We know who we are. It's time to show the world. More importantly, it's time to show ourselves.
Now, justice requires full, fair, and transparent investigations into the deaths of the two Americans who lost their lives in the city they called home. Jill and I are sending strength to the families and communities who love Alex Pretti and Renee Good as we all mourn their senseless deaths.
Trump is building an army loyal to him alone, and paying them up to $250k/year. If you can’t see ICE for what it is yet, then you’re not going to until it’s too late.
