BREAKING: Congressman Ted Lieu incinerates Donald Trump for ordering a water release in California as a "PR stunt" that did nothing but waste water and damage the environment.
This is how you expose Trump on the world stage...
"When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm," Lieu said at a House Judiciary hearing on "California Fires and the Consequences of Overregulation."
"Donald Trump has it in his mind that somehow there’s a spigot in Northern California, and he’s going to open a valve and dump water to Southern California," Lieu continued.
Trump's idiotic order last week — which was designed to grab headlines without actually accomplishing anything — was for the Army Corps of Engineers to unleash water roughly one hundred miles away from the Los Angeles fires (which had already been largely contained.)
Not surprisingly, Trump lied about the order's effects and claimed that "once empty ‘halfpipes’ are now brimming with beautiful, clean water" which was flowing to Los Angeles. In reality, the water did not reach LA and was not needed.
Not only that, but the early release may have endangered the available water supply when spring arrives.
Lieu slammed the order, explaining that the over 2 billion gallons of water "almost flooded farmland" but thankfully local officials interceded before even more water could be released.
"This water was saved for the farmers, for the summer season when they needed the water," said Lieu. "The president wasted all this water that isn’t even reaching Southern California."
He added that the water is "going to evaporate for a PR stunt."
"This was a harmful, ludicrous action to solve for the wrong problem" Lieu stated.
This is textbook Trump. He has zero interest in learning about problems or actually solving them. He only cares about claiming a win in the media before moving on to the next issue, leaving a trail of wreckage in his wake.

DO YOU AGREE WITH CNN'S ACTIONS?
CNN and others are posting the names of the young DOGE team members. Do you agree with this level of transparency?

BREAKING NEWS:
Republican Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas has split with his party to admonish the reckless and illegal shutdown on USAID:
Moran says the aggressive change at the USAID office shut down left $340 million in lifesaving food grown in the United States sitting at domestic ports, waiting to be delivered to various destinations where people are STARVING.
"Time is running out before this lifesaving aid perishes," Moran said. "Food stability is essential to political stability, and our food aid programs help feed the hungry, bolster our national security and provide an important market for our farmers, especially when commodity prices are low."
This is not a democratic vs. republican issue. This is a humanitarian issue!
Thank you Senator Moran for speaking out!
It frustrates me, no end, when people are JUST NOW saying "do you think Musk rigged the election for Trump?" I and many others have KNOWN this since November 6th! Why does it take people SO LONG to see what's right in front of their eyes! We've been SCREAMING IT TO THE MOON!
@Michell33650674 I hear ya! But what he is doing now is illegal, immoral and dangerous to every citizen in the US and Trumps allowing it. All of this BS is on Trump and only Trump. He needs impeached and charged with Acts of Treason against the US. Both him, Vance, Musk.
@kangaroos991 Senators please quit hiding behind the threats of Trump to vote a certain https://t.co/sLONWUOHqG’s at a point in American History that the majority of you all vote for what’s right. It’s also time to stand with Dems and stop Trump from cutting thousands of jobs illegally
@kangaroos991 👍 I would hope that after their offices are getting flooded with calls from concerned constituents about the Senators not stepping up to help stop what is going on, that a few of them would develop a conscience and stand up do the right thing.
BREAKING: Donald Trump's nominee for FBI Director gets hit with a stunning scandal as it's revealed that he was paid $25,000 by a Russian-linked company to appear in a propagandistic "documentary" in which he demanded the closing of the FBI's headquarters.
And it gets so much worse...
Kash Patel, a noted conspiracy theorist and diehard Trump loyalist, was paid the sum in question by the film company Global Tree Pictures, which is owned by a Russian national.
The company has produced content pushing the Kremlin's anti-Western and anti-democratic views. One of their previous projects was a pro-Russian propaganda campaign that received money directly from a fund created by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
The disturbing revelation came after The Washington Post obtained documents outlining the payment to Patel.
In return for the cash, Patel sold out his country by appearing in a conspiracist documentary that pathetically claimed that there was a Deep State plot which "destroyed the lives of those who stood by Donald Trump in an attempt to remove the democratically elected president from office."
The six-part series was called "All the President’s Men: The Conspiracy Against Trump" and aired on Tucker Carlson's online network. Carlson has been a noted defender of Putin's Russia and regularly pushes Kremlin talking points.
Perhaps most disturbingly, Patel stated in the documentary that he plans to "shut down the FBI headquarters building and open it up as a museum to the ‘deep state.’"
Ending the FBI has long been at the top of the Kremlin's wishlist, as the Bureau regularly foils Russian intelligence operations and fights against oligarch corruption.
If Trump gets his way, the man who wants to destroy the FBI will be entrusted with leading it.

@OccupyDemocrats After this disturbing news on Patel and he even got paid for it-he should never set foot in the FBI building-EVER! Senate Republicans, have a backbone and vote NO next week on Patel-a very dangerous man.
BREAKING NEWS:
This is terrible.
The Trump administration not only fired Coast Guard Admiral Linda Fagan, but a Trump official told her she had only three hours to vacate her house.
Don’t ever tell me Republicans support the military.
