“What’s the site? The water? You want me to go swimming??” This was Trump’s response when asked if he had visited the site of the deadly DC plane crash. The very same ghoulish sociopath who said “it is what it is” when he was asked about 1,000 Americans dying a day from Covid.

ROLL THE TAPE: RFK Jr: "News reports have claimed that I am anti-vaccine or anti-industry. I am neither." July 6, 2023: "There's no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective."

So the billionaire president’s multi-billionaire sugar daddy had his feelings hurt by the head of the FAA, so the billionaire president fired the head of the FAA — now there’s no one in charge of airline safety, and we have our first commercial airline crash in 16 years? Got it.

To recap, Trump: -Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence -Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers -Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee -Blamed the DCA crash on DEI This is disastrous leadership.

But who the hell IS this turd?

Ugh. Snoop Dogg, really?

Breaking news: President Joe Biden plans to formally apologize Friday for the U.S. government’s role in running hundreds of Indian boarding schools for a 150-year period that stripped Native American children of their language and culture, according to administration officials.

The devastation in Southern Appalachia from this storm is beyond comprehension. This needs more news coverage and these people need help. Tragic loss of life and property. Roads destroyed, people are stranded.

At least 20 people have been confirmed killed in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina after Helene, now a tropical storm, came ashore as a Category 4 hurricane. Strong winds and torrential rain from the storm were expected to continue Friday across the Southeast and southern Appalachians.

I think when contact is reestablished with Southern Appalachia this is going to be a generational catastrophe. Flooding unseen in human memory is a recipe for mass death.

"As Helene is set to illustrate yet again, hurricanes are not just coastal events — especially in the era of our warming climate." Appalachia braces for historic flooding from Hurricane Helene:

Breaking News: Maggie Smith, the award-winning British actor whose memorable roles ranged from the Hogwarts School’s stern but fearless teacher in the Harry Potter movies to the acid-tongued dowager countess on "Downton Abbey," has died at 89. nyti.ms/3YaLLwR

This. All of this.

He’s so angry. The puss on that face…

The lives of thousands of Americans have been upended by months of late deliveries from the federal government’s Native American food assistance program. Tribal leaders and food administrators across the country said delays have stretched their staff and tribes since May.

The UK has lost one in 20 libraries since 2016, either by closing them completely or moving them over to volunteer-run groups. The poorest areas were around four times more likely to permanently lose a local library than the richest www.bbc.com/news/article...

Great story about a heroine librarian, attacked by book-banning parents she thought were friends. “The crazy thing about this case is they get to wave the freedom of speech flag in the lawsuit, but what started all this is they want to ban books,” said Jones’s lawyer www.nytimes.com/2024/09/03/b...

Finally, someone's saying it.
