   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.

   ?? 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

   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.”

   It’s pretty clear that Trump’s cuts to @NOAA contributed to dozens of   
   deaths in Texas from a under reported on tropical storm.

   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.”

   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:

   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.

   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.
