OMG, it’s almost like we can take a deep breath once again for this first time since they announced this travesty. They need to STOP this terrorizing once and for all. NOW.
Might be a good idea for everyone to RT this in addition to calling the Senator (and, then calling a bunch of other Republican Senators and demanding they show the same respect & compassion for their fellow Americans that Sen McCain just did) ….
I did the same thing……almost. I have family members who will be affected. Tears were rolling down my eyes, Doc. I called Mccain’s DC Office & left a message with cracked voice.
Listen. I hear you. But please leave us out of it. Us meaning real people. You two psychos go out back and handle that. One on one. Please? https://t.co/G1ZLT721ko
A dam has failed and caused “extremely dangerous” flooding on Puerto Rico’s Guajataca river in the wake of Hurricane Maria, authorities say.
The National Weather Service (NWS) said buses were “currently evacuating people from the area as quickly as they can”.
At least 13 people have died on the US territory since Maria ripped through Puerto Rico, devastating homes and knocking out the island’s electricity.
The island’s governor has called it the worst storm in a century.
Operators of the Guajataca Dam said the dam, located at the northern end of Lake Guajataca in northwest Puerto Rico, failed at 14:10 local time (18:10 GMT).
It sparked a flash flood emergency for Isabela and Quebradillas municipalities, the NWS said in a series of tweets.
The agency urged residents in the area to “move to higher ground now” in an alert posted on its website.
“This is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation. Do not attempt to travel unless you are fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order,” the alert said.
Congrats, Doc Bobfr on Your Au ⭐
Thank you for Your Tweets. I RT as many as I can.
Thank you, NW.
I am hoping that the 2 Senators: Collins & Lisa M. will come through. Paul will Never stand up To Trump.
Happy for ALL OF US:) Not over yet. I do not believe we can rest just yet. The Power of People is wonderful to see….what you don’t protect and care for can be snatched away….#Stayvigilent
There are unjust laws. And there are higher laws than the laws of the state. According to these laws–mercy and love–we will be judged https://t.co/S3vVZsLHGs

Never stop until this zombie has a stake through its heart. Pretend McCain didn’t say his vote would be no….it’s not over until its really, REALLY over and dead! Keep the pressure on.
Jimmy Kimmel thanks John McCain for being a 'hero again…' — and as far as I'm concerned, Jimmy Kimmel's a 'hero' as well. #GrahamCassidyhttps://t.co/0eoiMSAWP4
ACLU membership has *quadrupled* since Trump's election, & its online fundraising spiked from $3-5 mil to $83 mil. They're putting it to use https://t.co/MaoNVbOhu9
The plaintiffs also invoked a state constitutional provision banning mid-decade redistricting to curb the GOP's new partisan gerrymandering https://t.co/KAXKAKs4r4

The storm's disparate impact on low-income & black voters could cost Dems victory in next Tuesday's 40th Senate District special election https://t.co/a4SfnwFkpm
They should go to court to stop this special election. How can people vote if they have no electricity or that their homes were damaged. I don’t know about you but I don’t grab my ballot when I flee an evacuation order.
NY legislators often resign mid-term so small party committees can handpick their successors, leading to rampant quid pro quo & nepotism https://t.co/hoXTXC1Qfk
❤️ The Equinox is officially upon us. May we turn the final corner on the horrific actions being taken by our so-called ‘leaders’, and close this chapter of US history. Sooner rather than later. 🙏🏻🕯
Here’s my attempt at being “artsy” with my point-and-shoot camera (meaning I have no idea whether the subject of the photo will be in focus or not, LOL).
These Trumpsters, who are now dominating the Federal government, have no human decency! I wonder, does the Education Secretary have a daughter in college? If she does, how would she react if her daughter was rapped?
Every unqualified nominee, every racist and conspiracy theorist, every nominee who lied under oath, has had unaminous support of Senate GOP. https://t.co/1t5Hgp2i13
If Wisconsin vote tabulation was altered, this means Nov election was #illegitimate… but Wisconsin Secretary of State is standing by the accuracy of their vote count.
Has someone compiled a list of the 21 states notified today that their election systems were targeted by Russia?
We’ve known since July at least that California and Illinois were targeted in 2016. And today Arizona confirms (maybe? the tweet embedded in this reporter’s [Journalist for @12News @NBC #Phoenix] tweet has been deleted):
BREAKING: Arizona Secy of State Michele Reagan says Homeland Security has confirmed Russian govt targeted Arizona voter registration systems https://t.co/m4lTZ6S6oo
The AP contacted every state election office on Friday. While not all of them responded immediately, those that said they were targeted were Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.
I have been getting polled lately. A couple of weeks ago the poll was about whether or not I support our (MD) AG Brian Frosh- which I do… I suspected that poll was one trying to poll against him. Today I was polled on Trump- questions were just about my age/race/gender and if I support him… obviously I was fiercely adamant in my lack of support of him. The first poll was a recording, today’s was an actual person.. but she couldn’t tell me who paid for this poll.
Very important story. Takes the wind out of those who say Don't worry, Trump's grownups-in-the-room will save him (& us) from disaster. https://t.co/w6k7wbOwpc
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) warned Republicans that if they try to bring up Graham-Cassidy for a vote, he has 100 amendments ready to go that will keep the debate going until the reconciliation language expires on September 30.
I’d rather watch this on CSpan than that squirrel Bernie.
Use FB for something GOOD rather than just be a platform for the dismantling of democracy. There’s a thought!

This is why we love that you “show up” here, Bob! Hugs to you!
Excellent advice, Dr. Bobfr!
Amen
Oh.
Everybody is doing a happy dance right now. I’m not. And I won’t until 1 Oct. Don’t trust the MFs.
This is the sentiment expressed on another blog, and I have to share it. We CANNOT exhale until October 1.
True dat!

Thank you, Senator John McCain, for SPARING us from this (one of many) travesty…
Hey there Arapaho! 😘

First day of Autumn, yay, and it actually feels like Fall in SoCal (a rarity–usually it’s hotter than heck this time of year). 🙂

Yes, I saw that.

Yep!
