This is one of the first dramatic "rubber meets the road" demonstrations of what anyone who knows the *mechanics of modern governance* has been warning about.
—A fed agency that *exists* to measure, forecast, and warn about unsafe water levels.

Want to see something really insane? Look at this website for USGS's Water Science Centers and Regions and see how many of their directors have "Former Employee" after their names. Everyone's gone! My best friend from grad school was one of them. Who's monitoring floods, droughts, etc?

NEW from me — FEMA staffers say the response to the Texas floods is horrifyingly slow, and it may be because of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's recent increased control over how the agency spends money.
"If this is how they are going to do a major hurricane response, people are fucked.”

Democrats *should* be smart and use campaign funds to send their own relief to Texas since Trump & Co. would rather allocate FEMA funds to build crocodile concentration camps. Greg Abbott will probably block Dems from trying to help. Make a spectacle about it. That’s how you control the narrative.
The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion. They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich.
Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.

Alligator Alcatraz or Alligator Auschwitz? Trump is acting as if he’s doing this nation a favor. By dehumanizing immigrants he’s creating a situation where violence is state-sanctioned. And people are cheering him on. This will lead to another place we’ve been before in history. #alligatorauschwitz

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes.
The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere.
The site is a textbook concentration camp.

I know the media is going to unthinkingly start using “Alligator Alcatraz,” but it’s disgusting and sadistic and I intend to call it what it is, a fucking concentration camp, and fuck those people who are doing this and giving it a cutesy name.

Ever since recorded music attained fidelity on-par with live performances, it could be argued that nobody "needs" to learn to play an instrument.
But luckily we decided the world is a better place when we teach each other how to play instruments so we still do it.

Single Moms Will Bear the Brunt of the Republicans’ Cruel Budget Cuts
Whenever lawmakers start carving up benefit programs, women raising children alone are always the first to feel the pain. Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” follows in that grim tradition.
