This is the sort of smoking gun connection between a decision and outcome that gets people fired in a normal government
Two days after deadly Texas floods, the agency struggled to answer calls from survivors because of call center contracts that weren’t extended.
This is so horrifying I made a bar graph www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/c...

Social movements are more likely to have success when three factors are present: elite conflict, shifting public opinion, and elite blunders.
Mass collective action can create the conditions for these factors to emerge and deepen.

Oregonians showed up yesterday to send the powerful message to Trump that we are speaking up and pushing back. There's a long road ahead, but cracks are starting to form in their attack on America. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up to push the pendulum back to a better America.

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.
Incredibly, this appears to be true. We tariffed our own (jointly operated with the UK) military base.
We tariffed BIOT, Mike.
BIOT. Diego fucking Garcia.
We tarrifed our own military base.
