Reminder that this is *Texas* in a high profile disaster affecting a Christian girls camp. If Noem and DHS won’t mobilize for this, what hope does the rest of the country have?
CNN is reporting the FEMA response was delayed 3 days because of Noem’s cost controls, and FEMA officials were “taken aback” by how limited the agency’s response was.

Exclusive: Top Trump Adviser Sergio Gor Was Born in the Soviet Union

As one does when one is simply impartially applying the law in the obvious constitutional way with no underlying agenda
It’s pretty startling that it’s become a feature of the Roberts Court that they save the most outrageous and infuriating usurpations of the Constitution for the last day they are in session and then disappear for months onto the planes and boats of the billionaire friends safe from public scrutiny.

WSJ reporting economists are questioning the quality of U.S. inflation data, after the Bureau of Labor Statistics was forced to use a less accurate method for guessing price changes, given staffing cuts and a hiring freeze limited the number of companies that were surveyed. How convenient.
