Governor Scott Declares a State of Emergency in Florida in Preparation for Tropical Depression Nine

Today, Governor Rick Scott issued Executive Order 16-205 declaring a state of emergency in 42 counties within the state of Florida in preparation for Tropical Depression Nine. To view Executive Order 16-205, click HERE.

Governor Scott said, “Last night, hurricane and tropical storm watches were issued along Florida’s Gulf Coast from Pasco County to Gulf County. We also learned that the National Hurricane Center expects Tropical Depression Nine to become a Tropical Storm sometime today. It is crucial that every Floridian has a plan in place to ensure their families, homes and businesses are fully prepared. Floridians can make their own plan atFLGetaPlan.com. I have been closely monitoring this storm’s development and our emergency management officials have been working hard to make sure we are ready to respond to any potential impacts. By declaring a state of emergency in advance of this storm, we are ensuring that state, regional and local agencies can work together to meet the needs of our communities. We will continue to do all we can to keep our families and visitors safe and informed as this storm approaches our state.”

Tropical Depression Nine is expected to strengthen to a tropical storm and will turn toward Florida with heavy rain, gusty winds and the risk of flooding late this week.

The next name on the list of Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes for 2016 is Hermine.

There are also a bunch of significant primaries in Florida today

 

Court-ordered redistricting, combined with retirements, means huge turnover in the Sunshine State’s House delegation. “Of Florida’s 27 House seats, at least seven will be filled by new faces in January, and as many as 15 could reasonably see turnover,” Mike DeBonis notes in a curtain-raiser. “Until Nov. 8, no day will be more crucial than today in shaping the next Congress.”

-- In Florida’s Senate race, incumbent Marco Rubio is expected to handily win the GOP primary and Rep. Patrick Murphy is likely to beat Alan Grayson for the Democratic nomination. Rubio is then the favorite in November.

-- These are the five most exciting Florida primaries to watch tonight:

• Tim Canova, the Bernie Sanders-backed challenger to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Canova is expected to lose. The question is by how large of a margin.
• Alan Grayson’s wife is seeking to replace her husband (who is running for Senate). She is battling Grayson’s former chief of staff!
• Incumbent Democrat Corrine Brown is trying to overcome the twin obstacles of a major redistricting and a 22-count federal indictment.
• In the Naples-area district that opened with Curt Clawson’s retirement, Francis Rooney, former U.S. ambassador to the Vatican and a major GOP fundraiser, appears to have the upper hand over Chauncey Goss, son of former congressman and CIA director Porter Goss; and Dan Bongino, an ex-Secret Service agent who twice failed in Maryland congressional bids.
• In the redrawn 2nd district, surgeon Neal Dunn and lawyer Mary Thomas have clashed over who had closer ties to Charlie Crist back when he was a Republican.

Floridians Need to Remain Vigilant to Tropical Depression

Floridians Need to Remain Vigilant to Tropical Depression

 Today, Governor Rick Scott spoke with the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) to get an update on storm impacts. Tomorrow, August 30, 2016, the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) in Tallahassee will elevate its activation status to Level Two in preparation for potential impacts from Tropical Depression 9 entering the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday. Current National Hurricane Center (NHC) models are forecasting the storm to enter the Big Bend and Nature Coast areas within the next 72 hours.  While the NHC models are more confident in the storm’s path, its potential intensity remains unknown. A significant threat of flooding and flash flooding exists for South Florida, the Florida Keys and communities along the Gulf Coast.

Governor Scott said, “As this tropical depression continues to develop and strengthen in the Gulf of Mexico, it is important for Florida families and businesses to prepare for heavy rainfall, gusty winds and flooding. Now is the time to get prepared since we know our state will likely be impacted over the next few days. Remember to never drive on flooded roadways, seek shelter in the event of severe weather and always have a plan in place to keep your family safe.

“It is also important to remember that before and following this storm, we all must do our part to combat the Zika virus. Make sure to dump standing water around your home and business to eliminate potential breeding grounds for mosquitoes and encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same. We will continue to monitor the storm and utilize all resources to keep all Florida families safe.”

FDEM Director Bryan Koon said, “As this tropical depression approaches the state, county emergency management officials are enacting their protective actions in accordance with their local plans. We are elevating to Level 2 and activating the State Emergency Response Team to assist our local partners in fulfilling any protective action measures or life-safety needs they may have.” 

Potential impacts include:

·         Rainfall totals of 3 to 5 inches are possible over the southern Florida Peninsula and the Florida Keys throughWednesday. 

·         Isolated maximum rain amounts of 7 inches could occur over coastal areas of South Florida and the Keys.  This rainfall may cause flooding and flash flooding.

·         Strong, life-threatening rip currents and other coastal hazards are possible along all East Coast and Gulf Coast beaches throughout week.

·         Specific Florida Gulf Coast impacts associated with Tropical Depression 9 could include damaging winds, storm surge, flooding and tornadoes. 

·         Gulf Coast impacts to Florida will likely begin Wednesday night and last through Friday.

·         Gulf Coast areas may receive 7-10 inches of rain, with localized higher amounts possible.

• As of now there are no tropical storm watches or warnings issued for Florida.
• Hurricane Gaston and Tropical Depression 8 do not pose a threat to Florida.

If severe weather is forecast in your area, be sure to follow these important safety tips:

• Ensure your NOAA All-Hazards Weather Radio is on and programmed for your area or stay tuned to a trusted local media outlet for the most current weather situation. Ensure your disaster supply kit is prepared and heed all instructions from local officials.
• Know what you would do in the event of a severe thunderstorm or tornado watch or warning. If a tornado warning is issued for your area, seek shelter immediately in an interior room, away from windows.
• NEVER drive through flooded roadways as road beds may be washed out under flood waters, and just one foot of fast-moving flood water can move most cars off the road.
• If thunder roars, go indoors. If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning and should seek shelter.

If flooding is likely in your area, you should:

• If you see a flooded roadway, remember the phrase Turn Around, Don’t Drown and always take your time when traveling.
• Be aware that flash flooding can occur. If there is any possibility of a flash flood, move immediately to higher ground. Do not wait for instructions to move.
• Be aware of stream, drainage channels, canals and other areas known to flood suddenly. Flash floods can occur in these areas with little or no warning.

The SEOC is the operational and logistical coordination headquarters for the State Emergency Response Team and is located in Tallahassee. The SEOC has three activation levels, with Level 1 being the highest:

• Level 3: Normal daily active monitoring
• Level 2: Activation of mission-specific emergency support and planning functions
• Level 1: Full activation of all emergency support functions

Trump is right. The election is rigged

Rolling Stone exposé, Trump is right.
The election is rigged. His buddies are rigging it.
A million minority voters face purge 

Donald Trump is right—the election is rigged. He should know, it's his buddies who are rigging it.

Rolling Stone has unearthed a confidential list of voters who are marked to be purged, up to a million at risk by November.  Who?  Mostly, voters of color, i.e. Democrats.

In the just-released issue of Rolling Stone, a year’s-long investigation by Greg Palast and a team of experts, “The GOP’s Secret War on Voters,”  exposes a scheme by 29 Republican state voting officials to purge the voter rolls of those who don’t have a Republican tint to the their skin.

Directing the secretive and racially poisonous attack is the nativist hero of the “Alt-Right,” Kris Kobach, the Trump operative who drafted the GOP’s platform and told Trump how to muscle Mexico into paying for his wall.

GOP officials, taking off from Trump’s unsubstantiated claim that "people are voting many, many times," are targeting voters who are allegedly voting in two states – or registered in two states and can therefore vote illegally a second time in November.  While voting twice is a felony crime, and less than 2 voters a year have been convicted of this crime, the GOP purge operation is removing tens of thousands of innocent voters as you read this.

As these double voters are suspects in a massive criminal conspiracy, the lists were kept confidential. But the Palast team got them anyway.

According to database experts who have statistically analyzed the lists, the program is "dangerous" and "seriously biased against minorities."  Already, swing states with tight Senate races, Ohio, North Carolina and Arizona, are quietly removing voters through this racially poisonous purge operation.
 

Watch Greg Palast discuss the Rolling Stone revelations on MSNBC's AM Joy.

 
The Billionaires Behind the Ballot Burglary
Palast filmed his two years of sleuthing for the Rolling Stone investigation. But that’s just a fragment of the detective story in his new film, “The Best Democracy Money Can Buy:  A Tale of Billionaires and Ballot Bandits.”
The film also names –and hunts and confronts—the billionaires behind these racist ballot burglaries:  the Kochs (like you’ve never seen them), plus GOP top donor “The Vulture,” and Trump’s billionaire, JP the Foreclosure King.

Gov. Scott: As Storm Impacts South Florida, Residents and Visitors Should Remain Prepared for Severe Weather

Governor Rick Scott spoke with the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) to get an update on storm impacts in South Florida. FDEM is continuing to actively monitor a developing storm system as it moves through the Florida Straits and South Florida, and is urging everyone in Florida to remain vigilant as it moves toward the Gulf of Mexico. FDEM has not elevated the activation level of the State Emergency Operations Center, or activated the State Emergency Response Team but stands ready. 

Governor Scott said, “As we continue to closely monitor this storm, residents and visitors in South Florida and the Florida Keys should remain prepared for gusty winds and heavy rainfall through Tuesday. There remains a potential for heavy rain to extend to the Gulf Coast later this week as the storm moves into the Gulf of Mexico and everyone in Florida should continue to monitor this weather system. Floridians know that this time of year weather can change rapidly and being prepared is the best way to keep your family safe. With heavy rainfall expected across South Florida and a potential for flooding, it is important that everyone does their part to combat the Zika virus. Any amount of standing water can serve as a breeding ground for mosquitoes and everyone should dump the water around their homes and businesses following this storm. We will continue to provide regular updates on this storm as it develops. If you don’t have a plan, please visit FLGetAPlan.com.”

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has designated the developing system as Invest 99L, and estimates it to have a 40-percent chance of cyclone formation in the next 48 hours and a 60-percent chance of cyclone formation within the next five days. Conditions are expected to be more favorable for development once the system moves into the eastern Gulf of Mexico tomorrow. Periods of heavy downpours and gusty winds are likely across South Florida today, spreading northward throughout the Peninsula as the week progresses. Strong rip currents are likely along all east coast beaches today.

FDEM Director Bryan Koon, said, “As this system moves into the Gulf of Mexico early this week, everyone – especially those along the Gulf Coast and Big Bend – should be prepared and have a plan. We will continue to monitor this storm and stand ready to respond to any impacts this system has on Florida communities.”

The next names on the 2016 Atlantic Storm name list are Hermine (pronounced Er-meen) and Ian.

Kaine Meets with Local Elected Officials in South Florida

Tim Kaine wrapped up a two campaign trip to Florida on Saturday. In Miami Lakes, Kaine toured Design South Florida, a local production company. He toured the facility and visited with employees. He then rallied elected Democrats in Pembroke Pines. Speaking to a collected group of Democratic mayors and elected officials, Kaine went after Donald Trump and touted Hillary's Clinton's plans and record. He framed Clinton as the logical choice over Trump saying, "She understands that our safety is about our muscle, but it's also about our alliances. Donald Trump has a different attitude." A video from his speech in Pembroke Pines is below.

Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack campaigned on behalf of Clinton meeting with voters at events across the state. He spoke about Clinton's jobs plan and how it would create over 400,000 jobs in Pennsylvania alone. Vilsack is a native of Pittsburgh and was rumored to be on Clinton's short list for running mate.

Clinton Criticizes Trump’s Extreme Views in Reno Speech

Hillary Clinton sharply criticized the extreme views of Donald Trump during a speech in Reno, Nevada today. Clinton said that Trump is "taking hate groups mainstream" with his hateful rhetoric. She blamed him for allowing the extreme right take over the Republican Party. "From the start, Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia. He’s taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over one of America’s two major political parties. His disregard for the values that make our country great is profoundly dangerous," Clinton said.

Hillary for America also released a report outlining how Trump has given "Alt-Right" groups the control of the Republican Party. The report takes several of Trump's policy proposals in quotes into consideration. The report concludes, "This kind of hatred is impacting our families, our communities and the public discourse – the so-called “Trump effect” – and we must recognize and stand up against it in order to keep the fringe extremism out of the White House." A video from Clinton's speech in Reno is below, and the full report can be read on The Briefing.

Roger Stone: Trump ' Release Your Tax Returns Immediately'

Roger Stone, longtime friend and adviser to Donald Trump, said Mondayhe thinks the GOP nominee is making a mistake by not releasing his tax returns. "Yes, I think he should release his tax returns immediately," Stone told Fernand Amandi of Miami Radio WIOD. Trump and his campaign have maintained throughout that he would release his returns once the IRS audit into them is complete, though the agency has put no such restrictions on the candidate.

What we're doing in Louisiana

Last week Louisiana was struck by an intense, slow-moving storm that produced record rainfall, up to 30 inches in some places, that flooded an expansive area across the lower half of the state -- robbing so many Louisianans of their businesses, homes, and sense of security.

Since before the flooding began, FEMA has been working hand-in-hand with Louisiana officials to respond and help in the recovery efforts -- from providing shelter and housing and warm meals, to helping support home repairs and meet other serious disaster-related needs. As of this week, we've approved more than $127 million to help survivors with home repairs, rental assistance and other needs, and to advance payments to flood insurance policyholders who sustained damages, providing expedited relief.

That's exactly what the President directed us to do: Support and assist the people of Louisiana, no matter what it takes.

Today, President Obama traveled to Baton Rouge to see the federal response effort firsthand. Watch what he had to say:

FEMA with our federal, state, private sector, and nonprofit partners are working around the clock to help make sure Louisianans have what they need to recover and rebuild their lives. Recovery is a long-term process, it's important that Louisianans know: You're not in this alone and we're with you for the long haul.

You can get the latest information on what's happening on the ground here.

And if you or anyone you know has been impacted by this flooding, here are a few key resources that you can use and share:

To find the nearest Disaster Recovery Center visit www.fema.gov/DRC, use the FEMA Mobile Application, or text DRC and your zip code to 43362 (4FEMA).

If you are a resident or business owner who has sustained losses in the designated parishes, you can apply for assistance from FEMA by registering online atwww.DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or 1-800-462-7585(TTY) for the hearing and speech impaired.

And if you want to do what you can to help the people of Louisiana get back on their feet, you can visit www.VolunteerLouisiana.gov to see how you can contribute to the response and recovery efforts.

Long after these floods recede and fall away from the headlines, FEMA and our colleagues in the federal response effort will be here alongside state officials as long as we are needed. It's our job to help make sure every community can recover and rebuild.

And that's what we plan to do.

Thanks,

Former GOP Treasurer of the United States Endorses Hillary Clinton

Hillary for America announced that Hillary Clinton has been endorsed by former United States Treasurer Rosario Martin. Martin served during the administration of President George W. Bush. In a statement, Martin explains that while she is a Republican, she has set aside politics and considered her country first. She said that while she has "disagreed with and criticized Hillary Clinton’s positions, but I have come to the conclusion that she would be a far better president than the Republican candidate could ever be." A full copy of Martin's statement is below. "I have been a Republican since I became a U.S. Citizen in 1984 and was proud to vote for Ronald Reagan’s reelection.  Eventually, I was given the incredible honor to be the United States Treasurer, the first Mexican-born to hold this title. I have been a loyal, trusted and fiery fighter for every Republican presidential candidate.  I have been a delegate to the previous five Republican conventions. But since July 2015, when a certain candidate, upon entering the political arena, showed his contempt for Mexican immigrants by stating they were drug dealers, rapists and murderers, I have voiced my disgust and have warned one and all of the perilous threat he was to our party, our nation and the world. I had hoped against hope that my party would listen.  After all I had the personal commitment of our party chair, after the catastrophic loss of Mitt Romney, that Hispanics were going to be an important voting bloc for the party and that significant efforts would be made to augment their numbers in our party. Maybe I was naive, maybe it was just a strong desire to believe.  But the party left me and my community all alone again.  It has had plenty of time to stand up for my community, but it has chosen not to do so.  I have come to the devastatingly painful realization that my party right now doesn't want my vote nor that of my community.  Evidently it is not important, or not as important as some other voting bloc. So, for me to consider the unthinkable--to vote for a Democrat--has been a profound soul searching process. Leaders are tested time and time again and so, I will stand up for my community against the menace of a tyrannical presidency that does not value the countless contributions of immigrants across its beautiful and bountiful history. I have disagreed with and criticized Hillary Clinton’s positions, but I have come to the conclusion that she would be a far better president than the Republican candidate could ever be. She understands that words spoken from the White House have consequences, that sarcasm is not a strategy when dealing with delicate world situations, that our friends and foes listen to every word spoken by our president and react accordingly. There is too much at stake both domestically and abroad to have a thoughtless individual at the helm of the most important economy in the world. My party and its standard bearer leave me no choice; on November 8, I will vote for Hillary Clinton."

Even Donald Trump Knows He's Finished

According to the Daily Mail, the dejected Donald Trump didn’t even stick around to work the rope line, declining all requests from his fans for selfies. This seeming white flag of surrender from Trump comes at the end of a which in which he’s been slammed by everyone from the major media outlets to leaders of his own Republican Party who feel he went way too far when he called for the death of his opponent Hillary Clinton and then claimed that President Obama was the “founder of ISIS.”

Trump also claimed during his Altoona speech yesterday that Clinton, who is currently leading Pennsylvania by double digits in multiple polls, can only win the state “by cheating” – without bothering to explain why he was accusing her of cheating. He then went on to refer to Hillary as the “Most Improved Player” for ISIS. But mainly, Trump seemed to just want to go home.

Here is why Florida is going to be so important this November election

According to recent polls, Hillary Clinton is up double digits in three states that Trump can't afford to lose: Colorado, Virginia and Pennsylvania.

"That's because Democrats have a built-in advantage in the Electoral College," writes The Fix's Aaron Blake. "As our own Chris Cillizza wrote recently, Clinton basically starts with 242 of the 270 electoral votes she needs just if she can hold the 19 states that Democrats have won in each of the last six presidential elections — a group that includes Pennsylvania. If she wins all them and adds Florida, with its 29 electoral votes, it's game over."

Here's one of several Clinton-win scenarios that we could easily imagine happening based on the polls right now:
