What Emergency Managers Say They Need More Than Ever We heard from more than 40 current and former emergency managers in 11 states about what they need to prepare for the next disaster โ€” and what they arenโ€™t getting.

More than half of the 1,689 local emergency management agencies that responded to a survey last year have either one or no permanent full-time employees.

A โ€œnotable percentageโ€ of local emergency managers who responded are volunteers.

State Department Bypasses Congress to Send Israel More Than 20,000 Bombs

Unconscionable.

Congress needs to aggressively reassert its authority. Stop this illegal war from becoming even more deadly. Now we know it was likely a U.S. bomb that caused mass casualties at the girls' school in Iran.

No more of our taxpayer dollars funding this savagery.

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

So many important men in hiding, hoping their name won't get out and waiting until the last minute to try to save themselves. None of them had the balls to stand up earlier and tell what they know. Thoroughly disreputable.

Nude Justice Statues Exposed Once Again Workers at Justice Department remove blue drapes from scantily clad figures, reversing former AG John Ashcroft's effort to cover them up.

Yeah, I was thinking Pam Biondi should follow Ashcroft and race over and cover it up.

Sunny is free. We are so glad that she is with family and on the way home. Sunny and her 5 coworkers were taken to Broadview and then moved to Juneau, Wisconsin where they were finally released from ICE custody. We were lied to the entire time about her location. DHS needs to answer for this.

The leaders of an Old Apostolic Lutheran Church community in Minnesota enabled a child abuser by pressuring his victims to forgive and forget his sins โ€” so that they could never speak of them again.

I also blame the Dems because they seem to have ignored all advance notice of Project 2025 and so were unprepared after Harris lost the election.

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.
