The shift from pensions to 401ks played a big role in fueling Americans' hesitance to tax big wealth. Because now, even Americans who have only a tiny retirement account feel invested in the success of an institution that overwhelmingly benefits those much wealthier than them.
Every news outlet that reports on US stocks "surging" should be required to note that the wealthiest 10% of Americans hold more than 90% of all the value of US stocks.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Let me once again remind everyone that emergency managers and disaster researchers warned Congress that FEMA would not be effective if it was moved under DHS and then within two years they spectacularly fucked up the Katrina response and then Congress still left FEMA in DHS.
My sense is that the 22 agencies that were combined into the new Department of Homeland Security in 2002 generally functioned better before the combination. Isn't it worth seriously considering whether it's time to do away with DHS and disperse its various functions back to DOJ, Treasury, etc?

Proposed NOAA cuts would destroy the basic infrastructure for weather research–including hurricane and flash flood forecasting–and take decades to recover from. “It’s like blowing up a dam and trying to rebuild it by gluing the pieces back together. It won’t work. You have to start from scratch.”
Cuts to NOAA increase the risk of deadly weather tragedies » Yale Climate Connections
The Trump administration's budget plan for 2026 would eliminate the lab that developed a key flash flooding tool.

3. One of the things that strikes me in the awful tragedy in Texas is that the beleaguered, attacked, skeleton crew at NWS absolutely did its job - data was gathered, analyses run, warnings issued. Timely warnings at that. It was the TX officials who failed. (Again).

The missing piece of this viral post is that the Texas officials are lying and deflecting blame. The NWS, hobbled as it is, issued an accurate flood watch for Kerr County the evening before and accurate escalating warnings overnight as the flood was developing.
After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
