I feel like this absolute monsoon of a rain storm arrived without warning. It was so much worse than nor’easters we have been warned about for 48 hours with increasing urgency. Is this a forecast fail, a me fail, or maybe shutdown/doge cuts related?

A government office worker who helps seniors and the disabled with social security benefits shared her emotional response to the government shutdown. Essential government workers like her haven't been paid in four weeks. The pressure of it all has led to panic attacks: "We don't deserve this."

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

I have a flight this weekend and I’m more than a little concerned…
The shutdown affects us all:
• Air travel: TSA and FAA slowdowns = delays, canceled flights, less safe
• SNAP + WIC: Millions lose food assistance
• Farmers: No crop payments, disaster aid, market reports

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.
That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.
It looks a lot more like preparation for war.
Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.
