According to Heather Cox Richardson, the forecasts were accurate but the storm changed abruptly and:

"former NWS officials ... told Christopher Flavelle of the New York Times that the problem appeared to be that NWS had lost the staffers who would typically communicate with local authorities to spread the word of dangerous conditions. Molly Taft at Wired confirmed that NWS published flash flood warnings but safety officials didn’t send out public warnings until hours later."

"The journalists also note that the Trump administration's 2026 budget calls for eliminating 'all of NOAA’s weather and climate research labs along with institutes jointly run with universities around the country.'”

@DemocracyMattersALot better than signing some info-harvesting petition: call your reps about this directly:

"Remigration" is ethnic cleansing. Eliminationist economics at work. "Aryanization": a Nazi euphemism for systematically taking property from persecuted groups. It started as "voluntary" due to economic coercion, later became theft backed by violence.

3 of 4 When Trump finally gets off the golf course, could someone please tell him these girls are missing and presumed dead because of him.

Beshear on Trump's bill: "It's the single worst piece of legislation I've seen in my lifetime and it is a congressional Republican and presidential attack on rural America. In my state alone, 200k are gonna lose their coverage ... 20k healthcare workers are gonna lose their jobs, and we've got up to 35 rural hospitals that may close."

@jerrygoff The kids were in a Quristion camp. Maybe Dog is telling them something. I'm not sure getting on your knees and blubbering will help.

Maybe we shouldn’t be asking for “universal healthcare” but instead just say, “Every American should have the same healthcare as members of Congress. After all, they pay for it.”

if the President has the ability to nullify laws, then the US is in theory and practice, a dictatorship.

In his farewell speech, outgoing President Biden left us with this warning:

"Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead. We see the consequences all across America."

Across the WORLD, not just America.

Anyway, lots of pointing fingers, looking to the horizon (thanks Yoda), never knowing where you are at (again).

I did one more after that:
"would people vote for billionaires to enslave them"

Then this was in the results.

I hope there will be an election! Vote the GOP out of existence!

"Dachau was the first step on the road to atrocity. Will America go there? Eight months ago, I would have said never. At that point, America was still a nation under the rule of law. Now, we have politicians cheering the image of people being fed to alligators" and "selling swag celebrating the construction of an American concentration camp."
