I, like many others, were glued to The Weather Channel, and all sorts of other weather reports that we could get for Hurricane Milton.
Coming so close upon the heels of Helene, the damage to property and loss of life, have been heartbreaking.
But, it’s time to get political.
It’s time to get brass knuckles political.
On the one side, you have an Administration that:
1. Admits the existence of Climate Change
2. Willing to invest in policies that helps curb Climate Change
3. Believes that the Federal Government should take the lead in seeing that American citizens impacted by Natural Disasters are provided for.
On the other side, you have people:
1. Who deny Climate Change exists. It was quite interesting to watch Senator Voldemort of Florida, try talking about Helene and its impact without using the words CLIMATE CHANGE.
Remember, CLIMATE CHANGE has been removed from the curriculum in Florida.
2. Want to PRIVATIZE the agencies that collect weather data. Turn them into PROFIT CENTERS – check Project 2025
3. Want to DEFUND FEMA – check Project 2025
4. Refuse to come back and allocate more funds for FEMA and those impacted by natural disasters. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, REFUSED TO CALL THE HOUSE BACK INTO SESSION, even after President Biden requested that he do so.
Remember, ALL REPUBLICANS IN THOSE AFFECTED AREAS BY HELENE, VOTED TO NOT INCREASE THE FUNDING TO FEMA, AND WERE WILLING TO VOTE FOR A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, EVEN AFTER THEY KNEW HELENE WAS COMING
5. They are the side peddling LIES about what the Biden Administration is doing. Lying that the funds are being taken from FEMA and given to the Migrant Program. First of all, it’s not true. Second of all, the monies are in two different pots. And, it wasn’t Biden, it was TRUMP who took money from FEMA to spend it on his take away children from their parents at the border inhumanity.
Next set of lies is that the Biden Administration is not giving the Governors what they need. Which is a damn lie. There’s only one candidate, who has been proven NOT to give Americans what they need after a natural disaster, and that’s Donald Trump. He is the one who denied California funds post fires, until it was proven to him that those areas voted Republican. It was Trump who denied 99% of the request of Democratic Governor Cooper of North Carolina in 2017. DENIED 99%
And now, REPUBLICANS are playing games with people’s lives, because they think it’s a political issue that they can win on.
Republicans started that nonsense of voting against Natural Disaster Aid with Hurricane Sandy, which hit Blue States.
They are truly low level human beings, and it’s time that Democrats admit that and respond accordingly.
One of those hypocrits from Florida.

Her district took a direct hit, now all the sudden she wants to make nice with Biden and get some cash, implores Mike Johnson to call the House back in session, all while continuing to lie about $750 to her constituents so she can claim credit when they get much more. Gross. https://t.co/9RrwxNkj0x

The irony of @RepLuna calling for Congress to reconvene for Hurricane Milton relief is that A) She first blamed Kamala Harris for not providing relief (only Congress can do that, it’s literally Luna’s job), and B) When Congress was in session, she voted AGAINST hurricane relief.

NEWS:
Judge Chutkan ORDERS the release of the redacted appendix to Jack Smith’s brief, finding Trump’s objections to its release “without merit.”
She pauses her decision for seven days for Trump’s team to “evaluate litigation options.”

Since September 30 (last Monday), there have been almost as many Republican-aligned polls released as non-partisan polls — with Democratic-aligned polls basically non-existent.
🟣 Non-partisan-aligned polls: 33
🔴 Republican-aligned polls: 26
🔵 Democratic-aligned polls: 1 https://t.co/XIIN2D2akn

Again I say the campaign and the VP specifically are laser focused on what they need to do between now and Election Day. There are no grudges and no egos, just the work. Because *whew* the way he previously maligned the VP by mischaracterizing her work and role and to my knowledge has never given a public apology yet he’s getting this platform? It’s giving focused.
Kamala Harris is playing to win.

Flooding the zone with fake polls and dumping tons of money in the betting markets to make it appear that Trump is leading is a loser strategy. Don’t let these cowardly tactics psych you out. Instead, double down and get ready to enjoy the beat down we’re about to hand them.
