He means YOU will have hardship, not billionaires like him.

Trump blurted: “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” He turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and issued an order: “Don’t pay it!” Read this carefully researched @TheAtlantic piece to see how the would-be dictator would rule. search.app/8LLPc4s9wnJrAt…

@AndyHazelton I think the German ICON model had this pegged a week ago.

Wat. #Oscar One of the biggest Atlantic model whiffs in a loooong time.

We've confirmed an additional 5 tornado tracks today, which now brings us to a total of 19 tornadoes from last Wednesday's historic outbreak ahead of Hurricane Milton. This is officially the largest tornado outbreak in the office's 35 year history (based on number only).

@tropicalupdate We brought out daughter back to USF. Took Knights Griffin Road through Thontosassa between 301 and 39. The devastation back there is immense. The oak lined road has to be cleared in dozens of spots. Flooding is still bad.

Some of my clips from south Pinellas during landfall. Pretty intense yes!

Port St. Lucie Utility Systems Department is issuing a precautionary boil water notice for water customers beginning tonight at 8 p.m. This action is being taken in an abundance of caution to protect the health of our utilities customers. The ground is already soft from recent heavy rains, combined with potential flooding, the threat of strong winds and downed trees, there is an increased possibility of damage to the system’s water mains. By boiling water as a precaution, customers will be protected in the case of potential water main breaks. This precautionary action is being taken because of the changing severe weather conditions. There are no known compromises to the system at this time. Residents are encouraged to fill up containers with their tap water before 8 p.m. to ensure they have safe drinking water to use throughout the storm. Customers who plan to use any water for consumption after 8 p.m. tonight should boil water for at least two minutes prior to using. Once the storm passes and facilities have been fully reviewed and approved for service, the precautionary boil water notice will be lifted. Call 772-873-6400 regarding any issues with water or sewer service or visit cityofpsl.com/utility for more information regarding storm preparations. The Port St. Lucie Utility Systems Department chat service has also been enabled and will be available 24/7 through the storm event.

Hey #Milton! Read my sign.

8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.

@Scott_Maxwell If you have garden solar lights, they are great for nighttime lighting with no power. Many have on/off switches.

#Milton forecast to be possible cat3 on Wednesday at landfall somewhere along the West coast of Florida. Everyone from Fort Myers to Cedar Key should be prepping now.

@StevenACohen2 @Mets Uncle Stevie, please pay the man. ❄️ 🐻

How about that finish! Hollywood couldn’t write a better script . So proud of this team. Onward to Philly

PSLPD Receiving Multiple Complaints of Previously Investigated School Threat PSLPD is aware of and has received multiple complaints of a school shooting threat that has been circulating around social media, specifically on SnapChat. The threat alleges a three part plan culminating in a fire alarm being pulled at an unnamed school to be followed by a shooting. This specific threat has been previously reported to and investigated by law enforcement and has been linked to a post that originated in the Carolinas. This specific threat was determined to not be credible and there is no threat to our local schools.

@RonFilipkowski Actually according to Penn Wharton Trump will explode the deficit by $9.9 Trillion budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2024/8/… But Harris will only add $2T budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2024/8/…

Leon claims that a big reason he’s supporting Trump is because he will cut the deficit. Meanwhile, Trump has proposed to zero out taxes on tips, overtime, & Soc Security, tax cuts for millionaires & billionaires, increased defense spending, and multiple new spending programs.

@nancylevine @MuellerSheWrote @Acyn @Wharton Wharton put out analysis of both of their plans. Trump adds $9.9T in debt vs $2T for Harris, Harris gives bigger breaks to bottom 60% and raises costs on top 5%. Trump gives small breaks for majority but a $376k break for top 0.1% budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2024/8/… budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2024/8/…

@Acyn I've reached out to @Wharton “I went to the Wharton School of Finance, and many of the professors, the top professors, think my plan is a brilliant plan,” Trump said. Which, if any, professors at Wharton have said Trump's plan is a brilliant plan? x.com/Acyn/status/18…

Trump: I went to the Wharton school of finance and many of those professors the top professors think my plan is a brilliant plan. It's a great plan

@GregTSargent @MuellerSheWrote @GregTSargent @MuellerSheWrote Does Arlington have security cameras? If so would they fall under a FOIA request?

News --> Dems are pushing the Army to clarify why they think Trump's Arlington fiasco broke the law, and demanding a clearer account of what his campaign aides did to that woman. One source says Dems are frustrated at the lack of detail. My new piece: newrepublic.com/article/185517…
