💙+💛=💔 Call out #TrumpLies & Post #facts Reminder: they all wanted this when they voted FOR exactly what they are getting from him, Yarvin, Musk, Thiel, & the #Republicans. Don't let them forget that part.💅

I'm old enough to remember when buying votes was illegal.🤷‍♀️ "If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them...I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000,” Trump said. (😆 the radical left-wing WSJ headline)

Trump promises $5,000 checks if Republicans win the midterms. He also teased tariff and ‘DOGE’ dividends last year that never came.

President Trump’s speech at his party’s midterm convention in Dallas comes as many analysts expect losses for Republicans in November’s elections due to voters’ frustrations with high prices.

So focused on the devastating flooding situation in Lewis County, WV (+grad school); scrolled through @atrupar.com's feed to catch up on life. This poor girl behind Trump clearly had to poop. Bad!😬 She couldn't stand still, at all- possibly a toot that woke him in other video🫣(not his, for once).

RFK Jr on autism: "'Oh, we're just noticing it more.' But this is an absurdity ... if we were just noticing it more, we would notice it in older groups. But we're not ... so something happened in the mid '90s that changed our children"

😱No sleeping tonight-I don't want to play this game anymore‼️ A major waterway on our property/adjoining main highway is already swollen to yard (9:46am). Trees from July 21 flood created a dam in front of our house, but WVDOH still too busy rebuilding folk's destroyed bridges/roads to their homes.🧵

Meteorologist Bryan Hughes' Facebook post:
The morning is already off to a very active start, and we need to talk about the escalating severe
weather and flash flooding threats for today.
As you know, heavy thunderstorms are already moving through the area. Even more concerning
are our rain totals, which show intense downpours rapidly dumping significant amounts of water.
When you combine this kind of heavy, training rainfall with the Excessive Rainfall Outlook for our
area, this isn't good. The ground will saturate quickly, meaning flash flooding is a major concern
today, right alongside the ongoing risk for severe thunderstorms.
As a reminder, here is the timeline for how the rest of the day and tonight will unfold:
Noon: Scattered showers and strong thunderstorms will continue to fire up, particularly across
the northern half of the state.
6 PM: While some areas may see a brief lull, keep your eyes to the northwest. A very intense
complex of storms will be organizing and starting to cross the river into the Mid-Ohio Valley.
9 PM: The main event. A widespread, heavy line of severe storms will sweep right through the
heart of the region. Expect torrential downpours (worsening the flood threat), severe wind gusts,
and intense lightning.
Midnight: The heaviest core of the storms will drop into southern West Virginia and begin to
exit the state, leaving behind some lingering rain.
Turn around, don't drown! Never drive through flooded roadways, and make sure you have
multiple ways to receive severe thunderstorm and flash flood warnings throughout the day and
into tonight. Stay safe out there!Meteorologist Dillon Gaudet's post on Facebook:
More rounds on the way ... Some folks have already experienced two rounds of storms since
midnight. But two more rounds are on the way.
The model data has consistently shown that the third round will be the strongest round of storms
of the bunch. 60-70+ mph wind gusts will be possible within this cluster/line of storms. With so
many waves of storms pushing through, flash flooding will continue to be a major concern. The
ground is already saturated in parts of central West Virginia and southern Ohio.
Stay tuned for more updates throughout the day. (posted at 7:45 AM on Tuesday, August 11th,

Went to our former family home today in downtown Weston, WV. Generations since 1965 lived there-I last owned it. It had over 3' of water from the flash flood & all of the walls are just studs now. I'm heartbroken, just beyond. 😭 I'm so glad my Nana & Mom are not alive to see 'our' house like this.💔

The entirety of Lewis County, WV & pockets of neighboring Upshur County were hit by a mass flash flood. A "red" area, they NOW SEE Republican leadership failure. It's💔that it took this event to wake up my community to Trump's apathy - Democrats NEED to SHOW UP, ASAP‼️ @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

The Middle School & downtown area in Weston, WV-after the flood on July 21st. Our community's Veterinarian is keeping spirits up while all of her supplies are gone & now mud remains. Image from the Hampton Inn - it was up to the top of the 1st floor - ALL guests & employees lost their vehicles.

Yes. @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy's coverage of the devastation of an *entire* County in WV is just top-notch.😶 Lewis County is oh so grateful for their super hard work of copy/paste in getting the word out that we need major manpower & Trump to sign FEMA funding to clean up after the deadly flooding.

Lewis County, WV had widespread flooding - no part of the county, ALL communities impacted (most of these videos are from Lewis). Neighboring Upshur County had pockets of significant flooding. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social - NOW is the time to show up!! Trump hasn't said a peep & they SEE/REALIZE it.

lollllll -- Ossoff proposes a motion that would ban senators from trading stocks and crypto, prompting Sen. Lummis (who loves crypto) to immediately object

Fox News carries Raskin's entire opening statement in which he ticks through the Trump administration's egregious corruption and extremism
