Would prefer to solve problems to b*tching. Whining is not a strategy.
If the WH is truly serious about lawlessness (ahem), maybe they’re going after the wrong city. Dallas has a higher violent crime rate per capita AND a lower density (usually density correlates w violent crime). I’m sure Gov. Abbot could use the help

I’m old (kinda) & with that I have a long memory (still). I would never advocate withholding disaster relief funds when needed, but it’s fair game to remind that the federal government should be there to help those in real need. Remember Hurricane Sandy? Rep Chip Roy was Sen Cruz’s Chief of Staff

Thank you ! Are you going to overlay any other agencies and their cuts ?

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

Guidance from my physician, quoting an actual research paper, no less: if you got your MMR in the 60’s it’s highly likely you have little to no immunity. So I’m going straight MMR.
For those who react negatively to immunizations or immune compromised, Titer tests are a good precautionary step.

Hey boomers. We got MMR vaccines as children because they were miracles. Some of that immunity has lapsed. Consider getting a "titer" to test your immunity, and if it's weak or gone, get an MMR booster.
Because measles (and more) is coming back if RFKJr. cripples vaccine programs, as he's doing...
