Here's What No One Is Telling You About The Tragic Texas Floods. Despite the horror, these children were not the first young Americans to have their futures destroyed by climate change. That’s just one of the ways that climate change is quietly rewriting our priorities. Climate change is already reshaping childhood. The Texas floods highlighted another blind spot: Every summer, 26 million American children attend camps, often in areas particularly vulnerable to floods or extreme heat, with almost no oversight or preparation for the new climate realities.

Embracing debtThe irony of the debt explosion in recent years is how quickly the country’s long-term financial outlook has changed. The presidential candidate who won the 2000 election had promised sweeping tax cuts and immediately worked to enact them after taking office.

The tour came after some Democrats were blocked earlier from viewing the 3,000-bed detention center that the state rapidly built on an isolated airstrip surrounded by swampland. Advertisement“There are really disturbing, vile conditions and this place needs to be shut the hell down,” Rep. U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Democrat from Florida, told reporters after visiting. “It’s a detention center, not the Four Seasons.”Journalists weren’t allowed on the tour, and lawmakers were instructed not to bring phones or cameras inside. Five Democratic state lawmakers tried to visit the site when it opened July 3 but said they were denied access. The lawmakers have sued over the denial, saying that DeSantis’ administration is impeding lawmakers’ oversight authority.

AdvertisementThe Layoffs Are Part Of Big Changes To State Department WorkUSAID, the six-decade-old foreign assistance agency, was absorbed into the State Department last week after the administration dramatically slashed foreign aid funding. Rubio said officials took “a very deliberate step to reorganize the State Department to be more efficient and more focused.”“It’s not a consequence of trying to get rid of people. The State Department is planning to eliminate some divisions tasked with oversight of America’s two-decade involvement in Afghanistan, including an office focused on resettling Afghan nationals who worked alongside the U.S. military. The American Foreign Service Association, the union that represents diplomats, urged the State Department last month to hold off on job cuts. “Disrupting the Foreign Service like this puts national interests at risk — and Americans everywhere will bear the consequences.”Advertisement___

The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods. Climate change denial means more torrential rain for Texas, and more flash flooding. Climate change is causing even more rain to fall during the heaviest storms. “As the air gets warmer, which is what’s been happening because of climate change, the sponge can hold a lot more water. Trump and Republicans are not just ignoring climate change — they’re actually trying to make it worse."

Megan Stalter and Lena Dunham in Too Much NetflixLena Dunham makes her much-anticipated return to TV this week with her new rom-com series Too Much, and it’s already got critics talking. The new Netflix show follows workaholic New Yorker Jessica, who leaves for London in the wake of a break-up only to fall for aspiring musician Felix. AdvertisementInspired partly on her own experiences of moving across the pond and falling in love, some critics have already hailed the 10-episode series as a “big-hearted” rom-com with plenty of Lena’s signature wit. It’s tonally jarring, full of laboured jokes and abandons all thoughts of innovation. It’s a case study in a lot of disparate, disorganised stuff amounting to too little.”Advertisement

Moreover, the White House press, which was perpetually rude to President Biden, constantly bows and scrapes and kisses up to tRump. They rarely ask hard questions, and when they do but don’t get answers, they don’t press; they don’t correct lies and contradictions. First, most Americans don’t think the tariffs will lower prices. This is from a recent YouGov poll Taylor Orth, David Montgomery72% of Americans think that Trump's tariffs will increase the prices they pay, including 39% who expect they will increase prices a lot and 33% a little. These are just a few of the stories that tRump doesn’t want us to see or to elevate.
