      XPost: alt.talk.weather, alt.politics.liberalism, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       XPost: sac.politics, talk.politics.guns       From: yourdime@outlook.com              You know the saying: a broken clock is right twice a day. For former Ohio       State Sen. Nina Turner, a firebrand progressive and Bernie Sanders       supporter, who is the perfect person to be an MSNBC guest, she holds that       honor today in the aftermath of the devastating and tragic floods in       Central Texas. The damage is immense, with the death toll surging toward       100 dead as storms ripped through Kerr County and swelled the Guadalupe       River 25-plus feet in less than two hours.                     TV News Now       @TVNewsNow       ·       Follow       ?? Fox’s @JoeConchaTV on Texas media coverage: “We keep seeing other       networks talking about there not being the proper staffing at the National       Weather Service in that area. They actually had twice the number of       staffers on as they normally would. So if you’re going to find                     Bonchie       @bonchieredstate       ·       Follow       No, there were not.              The local NWS office had 5 meteorologists on duty instead of the normal 2       because they anticipated the storm being an issue. There were no staffing       shortfalls “in the region.”       Brent Baker ???????? ????       @BrentHBaker       George Stephanopoulos on @ThisWeekABC: “We’re also learning there were       significant staffing shortfalls to the National Weather Services offices       in the region.”                     Ryan Maue       @RyanMaue       ·       Follow       AP: Weather service had extra staffers on duty during Texas flooding       emergency.              https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GvK9KZdXsAAGnK6?format=jpg&name=small              Alex Pfeiffer              @Pfeiffer47       ·       Follow       This is a disgusting and false smear.              Even WIRED knows you are wrong.              "Meteorologists Say the National Weather Service Did Its Job in Texas"       https://wired.com/story/meteorologists-say-the-national-weather-service-       did-its-job-in-texas/       Rachel Bitecofer ????       @RachelBitecofer       It’s pretty clear that Trump’s cuts to @NOAA contributed to dozens of       deaths in Texas from a under reported on tropical storm.       https://texastribune.org/2025/06/09/texas-noaa-hurricane-season-forecast-       nws-trump-cuts/              Libs of TikTok       @libsoftiktok       ·       Follow       Tiktoker blasts people who are donating and helping find the missing girls       in Texas. Her reason is because the girls are White and “they’re deporting       your family members.”              This is one of the sickest things I’ve ever seen              https://twitter.com/i/status/1941694619076399405              Liberals have been blaming the Trump administration for the proposed DOGE       cuts while also cheering for more deaths. It’s who the Left is regarding       people with whom they disagree. They’re puerile, ghoulish, and all-around       disgusting people who have no clue what they’re talking about. For Ms.       Turner, she didn’t hold back trashing those on her side using a tragedy:                     Nina Turner       @ninaturner       ·       Follow       The GOP’s budget cuts to NOAA are set to take effect at the start of       fiscal year 2026, which begins on October 1, 2025.              Anyone making the deaths of the children in Texas about partisan politics       is morally bankrupt. Please reflect.              The GOP’s budget cuts to NOAA are set to take effect at the start of       fiscal year 2026, which begins on October 1, 2025.              Anyone making the deaths of the children in Texas about partisan politics       is morally bankrupt. Please reflect.              Also, the National Weather Service had extra staff, warnings were sent,       and every anti-Trump loony toon narrative has been obliterated in less       than 36 hours. Liberals don’t read the real news—that’s the problem.       They’ve also lost the ability to reason. They hate, lecture, and tell       people who they feel are less than that they either deserve to die or       deserve bad things to happen to them based on political preferences.              That’s insane. We’re dealing with mental midgets of the worst kind.                     Ron Filipkowski       @RonFilipkowski       ·       Follow       Rural areas hit hardest by catastrophic storms are the same areas now in       danger of losing their hospitals after Trump’s Medicaid cuts just passed.                     Ron Filipkowski       @RonFilipkowski       ·       Follow       When you have an entire political movement like MAGA who has sneering       contempt for experts who have spent decades in a profession - like weather       forecasters - and the need for govt to use those experts to save lives,       the results of that too often are that many people die.                     End Wokeness       @EndWokeness       ·       Follow       TikToker celebrates white girIs drowning in Texas              https://twitter.com/i/status/1941980289862979646                     Sarah Fields       @SarahisCensored       ·       Follow       Update: statement from Houston Mayor’s office about 40 minutes ago.              https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GvL1fr3XAAAp61S?format=jpg&name=small                     Sarah Fields       @SarahisCensored       The woman speaking is Sade Perkins.              Sade Perkins is the Market Manager of Freedmen's Town Farmers Market and a       Non-Resident Fellow at Princeton University.              She serves on the Board of Directors for Houston Food Insecurity in       Houston, TX.
