This week, Trump approved disaster relief requests for seven red states — after repeatedly delaying and denying aid to blue states. No other president has politicized natural disasters the way that Trump has.
James Talarico @jamestalarico.bsky.social is simply 1 of the greatest, most inspirational candidates to emerge in years, running against Ken Paxton, one of the most disgracefully corrupt politicians of all-time. So the Texas GOP responds by doing what comes naturally to them, of course: CHEATING! 🤮
