    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

    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.�

    This is a disgusting and false smear.

    Even WIRED knows you are wrong.

    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/

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
