“Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem slammed the ‘ancient system’ used to warn the public of potential weather threats — and vowed the Trump administration plans to ‘fix’ the technology… Sitting next to Gov. Greg Abbott, Noem was asked why the National Weather Service’s alerts about the heavy rainfall and flash flooding [in Texas] were ‘delayed,’ and said the situation was inherited.” — New York Post

As Texas begins to recover from last week’s catastrophic flooding, the Trump administration would like to reassure Texans that Donald Trump is doing everything in his power to improve the National Weather Service’s outdated alert system. That’s why, as part of the DOGE cuts five months ago, we fired everyone at NOAA and replaced them with one guy named Noah.

The high court just took up a Trump-backed lawsuit designed to destroy some of the country’s last remaining campaign finance laws.

War kills in so many ways. These days, Americans are bombarded with images from Gaza and elsewhere of people or broken bodies being ferried on stretchers from the rubble of homes and hospitals, by rescue workers whose thin bodies and stricken faces suggest they are barely better off than those they’re helping. Social media and journalists make us eyewitnesses to emaciated children too weak to cry. And yet, compared with air raids that crush and bloody instantaneously, a slower disaster, more difficult to capture (especially given our made-for-TikTok attention spans), consists of the hours that many people in war zones spend wasting away from infectious diseases of one sort or another.

Truth is, inadvertently switching places with a bear cub and almost being raised and/or eaten by a literal mama bear was a traumatizing experience for me, one which nobody seems to understand.
I can no longer bite my tongue, and I am here today to speak my truth.
I will now take your questions.
What specifically was I afraid of, that day after the baby bear and I accidentally switched places? Well, I feared that the bear mom might abscond with me into the wilds of Maine to raise me as her own, like Tarzan, but without the uncomfortable sensual subtext.
Why didn’t I just run in the other direction? Wow, way to victim blame. Ever heard of Stockholm syndrome?

Have they changed, or just become their worst selves While Trump is unpopular with a majority of Americans, his support among Republicans remains solid. That’s despite blatant corruption, fascist policies and a failure to deliver any of the economic benefits he promised.
