Oooh, ahhh...that's how this always starts. Glad handing, back-slapping and high-fiving. But then comes the running and screaming when they have to face the voters for what they just did to them. #BigBeautifulBill Oh well...

Trump brazenly lies: "It's the most popular bill ever signed in the history of our country." (Polls show that the bill is actually about 20 points underwater.)

One year ago, Joe Biden had a bad night in a debate. I told Newsmax that wasn't so important, but Donald Trump wanted to SLASH budgets, making ALL of us less safe during hurricane season. His policies just killed 24 girls at Camp Mystic, Texas, already.

Just a year ago, the U.S. was better at predicting storms’ tracks than it had ever been. But now, @ZoeSchlanger reports, the country is rapidly losing state-of-the-art forecasting, just in time for hurricane season’s busiest months: theatlantic.com/science/archiv…
