Not that local emergency planning can't turn into a budget blackhole of terrible spending decisions, either. But if we're going to shovel wheelbarrows full of money at things, probably more effective to do it with emergency management than law enforcement.
Worth considering how your local gov't is handling this. We no longer have FEMA to back up local emergency management failures. And if money is the problem with local planning, I suggest looking at your law enforcement budget first.
The answer lies buried somewhere in the Baroque Cycle.

Regular people looking away from this kind of government fuckery is a big part of what enabled [gestures at all of this]
Fingers crossed it's suddenly, in the middle of a press conference.
A lying liar who lies? She was part of the foundation built for this.
Timeless (and timely). My 9, 11, and 15 year olds all *deeply* enjoyed watching it with me recently. Works on so many levels.
It's pretty inspired!
$210m? (2/3 of the figure below) Seems a little low.
Well, I know where I *won't* have to campaign . . .
I am *quite* open to some more budget discipline in Arlington, and any fair version of that would extend to things I like (including this gymnastics program, which once served us wonderfully). But the way that Schwartz is going about this one? No.
Also, fire Mark Schwartz.
Psst. "Upzone the golf courses."
Do we have a breakdown anywhere of how many senior members of this Admin (which includes every GOP Senator and Congressman at this point) have kids in the military?
East coast didn't expect the water wars of the west to arrive so soon . . .

Somehow, in the blink of an eye, the most requested podcast on family car rides has gone from Grim, Grimmer, Grimmest to . . . @trashfuture.bsky.social
See, this is the kind of stuff I wanted to be arguing about in 2026, not whether or not a genuine moron should be in charge of an overfunded domestic militia.
Please make sure the House is ready to get moving on @wyden.senate.gov’s “Nuremberg 2.0”. ASAP.
It's nice to give her husband a shoutout, tho
Another way to look at it is that you're about to become the top domestic militia warlord serving someone who intends to hold on to power for life.
(And yes, Markwayne is absolutely that stupid.)
Kill it with fire. Never ever ever.
Regularly being reminded of that moment every time I tried to Google something last year.

This must be a core mission of the Democratic party right now.
Welp, Trump voters have sacrificed everything else to please their god, so why not their children, too?
Tie every mf'er who says this to the next bomb to be dropped. Absolute ghouls.

Genuine sympathy for these guys who have committed themselves to serving absolute clown shows.
Just imagine the tragedy of being a kid who takes God and country seriously, but it turns out your people treat Trump as both.
I voted for Buchanan in 1996 thinking I was a clever boy, heightening the contradictions.
I want to punch 1996 me.
Just booked some trips to get me back in the ocean, and I am so ridiculously happy about that.

You're stoked to enjoy a few small beers with the boys, just like old times. Here's a fun drinking game: hydrate every time you hear someone talk about a medical procedure they've got coming up. Pace yourself, this is a tourist visa to the past.
