After talking to some vets tonight; the VA suicide crisis line is no longer a safe line. It takes a lot for me to say that, but it is simply not. It is currently causing more harm than good.

DOGE was a success because the entire point of it was the greatest data theft scheme in history and they did it
DOGE was a failure because its entire premise was flawed, and, on top of that, the people who ran and implemented it were both arrogant and ignorant.

When I was in the Army, we had a term for a soldier whom everyone else despised.
We called them "That Guy."
That Guy could be any rank: private, sergeant, lieutenant, colonel.

Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence
Our staff is on the ground supporting families. Many workers-including US citizens, were held by federal authorities at the farm for 8 hours or more. US citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones. 4/

It isn't fair to blame the disaster on "Texas" or a "Texas mentality". Multiple counties were affected by these floods. ALL did their jobs, except ONE. All except one communicated with NWS. All except one took steps to warn residents.
This is a Kerr County problem.

The media should ask the Guards front office “Attendance in 2024 was the highest since 2008 and then the team cut payroll following an ALCS appearance and is now hurtling towards non-contention. Why should the fans invest in the franchise when ownership won’t do the same?”

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.
