I wonder where, or even if, FEMA will be
A storm bringing torrential rain, dozens of tornadoes and dangerous flooding has swept across the central U.S. for days, and is expected to continue battering the region on Saturday, forecasters say.
Communities Brace for Flooding as Storm Moves Across Central U.S.
The storm has already wreaked havoc across the South and the Midwest, killing at least eight people, including a boy who was swept away by floodwaters in Kentucky.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Who is to blame for the fruitless fig tree? Hint: it is the tree (or the gardener or the owner or the fact that fig trees don't grow in Iowa.)

Trump promises a “golden age.” But here’s what I don’t get: He had four years before as president. Did he deliver a “golden age”? He couldn’t even pull together a single infrastructure week or a healthcare plan. And he mismanaged a pandemic. Only a cult wouldn’t remember this.
