“Pretty substantial?” I’d argue complete betrayal. How dare they. You just got handed the golden gloves, extra rounds and the keys to a killer left hook and you’re… just saying “meh”? Unfuckingbelievable.
Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

This swelling in my chest… is this hope? To be moved to tears by an election for good reasons is really something. This. This is the dream of America.

My heart is breaking for Jamaica. This is unbelievably powerful and will be catastrophic. In the past, the US would have been a powerhouse to provide aid. We’ll see how isolationist this federal government really is in a few days…
What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

The very foundation of emergency management— of emergency response! (hate conflating the two because they are very different, but bear with me)— is that no matter who/ what/ where is in need, a core function of government, when
people are in distress, is to respond. REGARDLESS of politics.

A new Idaho law makes it illegal for state and local governments, private businesses, employers, schools and daycares to require anyone to take a vaccine or receive any other “medical intervention.”

We will urge the *full* Ninth Circuit to vacate today’s decision by a three-judge panel, before illegal Guard deployments can occur. A Ninth Circuit judge has already called for a vote on whether the case should be heard by the full court. Our team will file a brief encouraging the court to do so.

I am not related to this judge, as awesome as that would be (I use a “y” in my last name), but her dissent is righteous.

Particularly poignant reading this from an emergency management conference. Preparing for and responding to THIS is an appropriate use of the National Guard. We absolutely do not need to be manufacturing crisis when this is literally our back yard.

ICE *and* those right wing media streamers.
OK, so this is going to be tough to hear, but it needs to be said.
Now that Trump has been enjoined from sending *any* NG to Oregon, ICE is going to go gangbusters in Oregon, dialing everything up to 1000%.
Because they need riots. They need someone punching an ICE officer.
DON'T TAKE THE BAIT.

A second TRO has been granted barring ANY federalized NG from coming into Oregon— unless conditions change. This is a monumental ruling in so many ways— and sets the stage for what comes next. Ie: if Trump obeys the rule of law and the courts.

This.
A preliminary injunction hearing may follow later this month and the facts on the ground matter.
If a right wing influencer with a camera is trying to goad you into a fight, there is a reason for that, and the reason is we could lose our legal standing to stop the feds from coming in.
