FEMA resources are being diverted away from its key missions—despite natural disasters becoming more frequent and severe—and decisions on whether to provide assistance are being politicized. It’s time to pass the FEMA Act to strengthen the agency and restore its independence.

Timeline cleanse.

whoa -- Max Miller on CNN threatens Sen. Bernie Moreno with "exposing a deeply and personal embarrassing matter" after Moreno called for his resignation

Between Rep. Jim Jordan, who covered up decades of sexual abuse of student athletes at Ohio State before becoming a congressman, and Rep. Max Miller, who beats women and babies? Ohio clean it TF up.

I’ve been yelling about it this all year. Municipalities still act like these are unfortunate incidents instead of what they are. They’re attacks on critical infrastructure. We’ve underinvested in modernizing essential systems and infrastructure while degrading cybersecurity.

Anecdote: Where I work, we get an AI-generated transcript of every single meeting. Since that's useless, we started having Copilot generate summaries. Since those are useless, my boss is now trying to develop a series of prompts that might eventually push Copilot to produce a useful set of notes.

New documentary recounts ‘free-for-all attitude of cruelty’ toward axed federal employees

The movie, which was filmed during the start of the second Trump administration, examines the human and societal effects of recent federal job cuts.

The focus on Fauci was always designed to help the GOP and Trump avoid taking the blame from the human and economic impacts of the pandemic. Blame China. Blame the scientists. Blame anyone but the President of the U.S.

“You interrupted my show/game because a tornado was coming” and “you can’t make me evacuate (this giant open field full of tents and metal) for lightning” energy. A complete circus of words and bad acting.

Lopsided storms like Bertha allows to see the low-level circulation while convection fires off-center. Incredibly cool satellite imagery.

Bertha is a disheveled two-sided storm, with its heaviest rains and tropical storm winds displaced offshore south of its center. It's trying to fight back against the shear this morning, but it's likely too little too late. My Tuesday morning update ⬇️

Bertha Forms, Expected to Remain Weak and Lopsided as It Skirts the Northern Gulf Coast

Bertha’s heaviest rainfall will remain offshore, but locally heavy rains and gusty squalls are possible from the Florida panhandle to coastal Alabama, Mississippi, and southern Louisiana
