That Stephanie Ruhle’s birthday is December 24th, like my late mother’s.

Knox County barely felt Helene. Easternmost point is mile 405 on Interstate 40; Interstate was closed from 435 to North Carolina and beyond the morning after.

Donald Trump at an October 3 rally charged that "Kamala spent all her FEMA money, billions of dollars, on housing for illegal migrants, many of whom should not be in our country….They stole the FEMA money, just like they stole it from a bank, so they could give it to their illegal immigrants that they want to have vote for them this season."

None of these claims was true.

So where did the FEMA funding go? $75 doesn't help much to a victim of the hurricane.
