' Meanwhile .. As the world is distracted by the new Pope, Trump quietly fires FEMA head Cameron Hamilton - just before the start of Hurricane Season. Who needs FEMA when the Orange One can personally toss you some Trump branded paper towels?! Nothing to see here, people! 😡

MAGA is so upset about the new Pope, you’d think they’d just watched someone give food to a starving child.

“I’m grateful that I’m involved in this,” Laurie Kanyok, who called 911 on Hadden, said about the settlement. “At the same time, I feel like I want to see people held accountable and not just somebody’s insurance company or checkbook.” New: @propublica.org

Ignoring abusive behavior is extremely costly, a lesson institutions unfathomably seem committed to learning over and over again. Columbia has now awarded over $1 billion to survivors of Robert Hadden’s abuse, abuse Columbia ignored for over 10 years! Imagine if they’d just believed patients.

Cuomo is the hail-mary chance for the coalition of the corrupt and conservatives to steal one of the most powerful offices in America from a mostly-liberal city, and it relies on clueless liberals voting for Cuomo because the media lies to them about who he is and what he's done.

Interesting tidbit: The AP's initial story on the new pope was only a sentence long—suggesting they did not prepare a story for this particular outcome. It was quite unexpected.

That last line he spoke gave away the game. It's all political retribution. Watching these videos remind me of why I'd never make it as a member of Congress. That line of questioning would have quickly devolved with a " tolerate deez nuts" followed by an epic swearing session.

Let's not do the whole Melania is missing thing again, please. She's not Princess Toadstool hidden away in Koopa Tower. I know some folks really need the white lady to be an innocent victim in all this, but she's not. She's stood by his side all along and helped spread the racist birther lie.
