Stephen Miller spent millions of federal dollars to do a "show of force" in a quiet Los Angeles public park while the administration tells Texas it doesn't have the money to help them handle this nightmare.
I'm really hoping to see some newspapers/elected officials state this obvious point.

Kristi Noem: "Some of what for what you saw for our response in Texas is going to be a lot of how President Trump envisions what FEMA would look like into the future ... emergencies are locally executed. They are state managed. The federal government comes in and supports."

It is genuinely your moral duty, if you’re in the sciences, to violate the terms of your contact and take as much of the research home with you as you can. Today, tomorrow, every day your lab’s still open.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position.
