FEMA forced to create a web page to combat MAGA hurricane lies.

The conspiracy theories and misinformation about the federal government’s response to the disaster have gotten so out of control that the Federal Emergency Management Agency created an entire page on its website, “Hurricane Helene: Rumor Response,” aimed at countering unverified claims circulating online.

“Misinformation always affects the people who are trying to help and the people who need the help,” Willie Nunn, a senior FEMA official currently helping to lead the disaster response in South Carolina, told HuffPost.

“It really impacts us because of the trust factor that we need,” said Nunn. “The biggest thing, if the misinformation is negative and not in support of the response, is that the survivors, it will discourage them to call us. If we don’t know where they are, we can’t meet them where they are.”

North Carolina state Rep. Lindsey Prather (D), who represents part of Buncombe County, which has been devastated by Helene, told HuffPost that misinformation has affected the recovery effort. She said she’s been working around the clock to communicate accurate information to constituents about resources like food distribution sites.

“The biggest issue is rumors and fake memes and photos of people being trapped in areas around the county, and we send folks out to rescue them, and there’s no one there to be rescued,” Prather said, noting that such efforts require resources that could be used elsewhere.

Ari Melber's interview with Howard Deen was so cringy

Ari was insulting and denigrating to Howard throughout the interview. Do they have some kind of ongoing feud or was Ari just being a dick?

We've been hearing for 4 years how Trump and every MAGA got tired and went to bed early only to shockingly discover

that Trumps tiny lead was gone. Now we all know the reasons why his slim lead dwindled and fell as the counts continued. Something they've never been able to acknowledge since He went with the "stolen election" lie. As mail-in voting continues to increase as the voters choice, we're certain to see the old playbook of his to confuse, deny and disrupt. If only there was 24/7 news coverage and those darn MAGA's could stay up late.

Nobody, I mean nobody was talking about Melania's minge pictures. So why is being talked about now?

Perhaps is was Steve Cheung leading the news anchors down another distraction hole. So far all of them happily have taken the bait. Nichole even went so far as to say "If I had her body I'd be naked all the time"

Meanwhile over at Fox news. Crickets about it from Moms for Liberty and other book burning fanatics.

Most of Joy Reids show, so far is replaying Trump trashing Kamala and Dems. UGH! I can't take it.

It's so lazy for news anchors to just replay red meat videos in an attempt to keep us watching. With So much movement happening in real news and it being so close to the elections. MSNBC hosts have to do better.

I cut an interesting piece from The Bulwarks Sarah Longwell on Nicole Wallace's show.

Dana was stupid enough to ask the race question but was smart enough to leave it alone

once Kamala snubed the answer. I believe Kamala was prepared to rip Dana if she pushed that baited question but she was deft enough to move on.

Whats with the JD Vance Jizz cups at his rallies?

Pumped for the DNC but does every MSNBC host have to ask about Bidens deal to drop out? WTF? How many times do we have

to hear the same story from every guest?
