Breaking — FEMA Acting Chief Counsel Colt Hagmaier just resigned in an email to staff. He's worked at the agency for more than a decade.

Hagmaier's resignation comes immediately after two FEMA employees were placed on leave for comments about Charlie Kirk.

Text of his email shared with me:
Pursuing A More Perfect Union Hagmaier, Colt Mon 9/15/2025 1:06 PM Friends, This nation was once no more than idea. Courageous whispers of dangerous thinking; a wild experiment to organize and preserve government not by despotism or dynasty, but through the continued consent of the governed. Like a hardy willow, our Republic endures upon a trunk of federalism that is both fixed and flexible. Unity, not unanimity, is our strength - we are not stymied by our differences, we are made resilient by channeling those differences into public good. Our words matter. We ought to choose them carefully, stand behind them, and offer them with empathy and kindness. My faith in our nation, like our liberties, is secured by strong, prudent, and principled democratic institutions. Institutions administered by public servants sworn to place that public good above their own. We persevere not because our Union is perfect, rather because we never stop pursuing a more perfect one - together. That is what I see here at FEMA every day. Each of you sustaining the integrity and function of our federal government. You bring hope to the hopeless and relief to the suffering. Your work is never easy, rarely appreciated, and often misunderstood or mischaracterized, but it is essential. Not only to those benefiting from it, but to the fabric of who we are as a people and a reflection of the humanity that unites us. Your effort is purposeful, noble, and compassionate. It has been my life's honor to serve alongside you in this virtuous mission of helping our communities and neighbors in their times of need. Now, it is time for me to start a new path away from federal service. This has been an incredibly difficult decision over which I have reflected, prayed, and temporized. I care immensely about FEMA's mission and for you who deliver it every day. I am blessed to have worked alongside so many passionate, hardworking, and talented people throughout my FEMA career.

I’m sorry but these people have got to stop resigning. They are some of the only paper thin barriers separating Trump from the core of these agencies

it is wild how much flag shagging this country engages in.

the flags, they pleased me.

I was pleased at how many US flags and even singing the national anthem in Providence today. Though ending on a speaker pushing a chant of "there is only one solution - working class revolution 👊" was unhelpful

Self help book cover featuring the lead in copy: TERRIBLE NEWS Title: There Was a Drone Strike in Heaven <image of the author’s face smiling> Almost everyone you know who is dead just died again and the final war has begun A COMPLETE LIST OF ANGEL CORPSES AND THE COMPLICATED HISTORY OF HEAVEN & HELL BY DURLENE M. PREYHARDEN - Bible Reader - Angel Speaker Back cover synopsis for There Was a Drone Strike in Heaven Wow. There Was a Drone Strike in Heaven. Yeah, it's really sad. Turns out it was Satan and his demons who did it, they even took Jesus hostage. So tragic. Inside this book is a list of the heavenly corpses. Say a prayer with each turn of the page. Anyway, There Was a Drone Strike in Heaven and God is finally going to do something about Hell, that awful place you've read about in God's great book. God is loading up his pickup truck with the rowdiest angels in town and they're all going down there to take out your anger on those demons Iraq War Style. I'm talking worse than Gitmo. I'm talking worse than Katrina. I'm talking Hell on Earth for demons, or as those devils may say: Heaven in Hell (they are confused!). Yeah, There Was a Drone Strike in Heaven, and you'll want to hear all about it. As a professional Angel Speaker, I can speak to angels, and though there are no photos or official records of this attack, you can rest assured that it happened because angels told me so. I spare no gory detail and as a result this book is disgusting. Durlene not only lays out every lifeless angel body in alphabetical order for families to identify, but she thoroughly explains the complicated conflict of Heaven & Hell. Ultimately, it was a legal matter. Satan broke the law and everyone knows that's illegal. Samuel Gorpelle - Bi-Monthly Bible Bias A Paperback Paradise Book Printed in God's Plan for Global Dominance

Hate to say it, but considering a Trump nominee was confirmed via unanimous consent immediately afterwards Booker did this stunt for a personal performative reasons.

Cynical.

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?
Screenshot of the Atlantic Signal exchanges, including Michael Waltz saying "the first target - their top missile guy - we had positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend's building and it's now collapsed".

Sorry - we're not half assing this. We're killing entire industries that are cancers on our society. This isn't just about insurance, this is a wealth transfer.

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.
Tweet from Yuval Abraham: "A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since."
