More than 20 years ago, North Carolina legislators passed a law requiring that landslide hazards be mapped across 19 mountain counties. But after only four of those countries were mapped, lawmakers gave in to developers who said it could harm property values.

The FEMA head didn’t know about hurricane season and they’ve gutted NOAA weather monitoring. Musk and RFK eviscerated our public health programs. The FAA is in shambles. Trump’s tariff reckoning is coming due. And the DHS head of counterterrorism is a 22-year-old bro. This summer is going to ROCK!

➡️Trump is silencing VA scientists—blocking them from publishing research that exposes how his cuts are hurting Veterans. This isn’t about policy. It’s about power, control, and hiding the damage he’s doing. MORE: www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Musk hasn't grown a conscience. He wants to kill the bill - not to help you, but to protect his empire. It threatens EV credits, R&D tax breaks, and AI freedom - core to Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI. It's about preserving power, investor trust, and his grip on the innovation narrative. That’s the agenda

He means JOBOT (“Joe-bot”) Biden, not Joe Biden... right? I mean, he’s been very clear that Joe Biden died in 2020, so why is he blaming that poor, long-dead senator (who never got a chance to become POTUS in 2021) for anything related to the border? I am so confused

actually, from what I can gather it is basically "follow the money trail"--or, "follow the trail of minerals"--"follow the trail of trade routes"--"follow the trail of which corporations can make deals with which countries to avoid taxes." we are taught democracy but it's Haliburton that rules.

🧵This is the story of America. These migrants are no different than the millions who reached Ellis Island, arriving with nothing, risking it all for freedom. It's the soul of America that Trump & his thugs are determined to destroy, including the SC. Like Hitler, an Aryan nation is their goal.
