Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

Gross dishonesty. The MAGA budget will increase the deficit by as much as $5T. The direction it takes us is one of the reasons for the Moody's downgrade.There are no net spending cuts in the bill. Repeat that: No net spending cuts. There are just cuts to regular people to fund tax cuts for the rich.

"The FAA is losing not only its chief air traffic officer but its associate administrator for commercial space, his deputy, the director of the audit and evaluation office, the assistant administrator for civil rights and the assistant administrator for finance and management." Huh.

Trump is the head of a criminal syndicate, and he should be treated accordingly—now and, even more importantly, when he and his accomplices are finally out of power.

Those on the high court often exercise caution in their choice of words. That is why it was striking when she used an audience of lawyers to deliver a stern message to the legal profession: stand up for democracy, take on the hard fights and do whatever you can to win.

For no particular reason, I thought I’d remind folks about the time Trump reposted a full-size, full-color image of a truck that was “decorated” with an unconscious Joe Biden, arms and legs bound as though he’d been kidnapped, during the campaign. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

As Senator Hawley and I said in February, Nvidia is playing fast and loose with our export controls and national security. That's a large reason why China is catching up to us in AI. The Trump Administration should stop this now.

DEMOCRATS! Throwing Joe Biden under the bus won’t help you. •It won’t win over the base. •It won’t boost your approval. •It won’t bring back voters who sat out 2024. •It won’t fix 2026. It makes you look petty while Trump is burning it all down. REPAIR AND BUILD THE PARTY!

Anybody else remember that time the Bush administration manufactured intelligence to "prove" Iraq had weapons of mass destruction to justify going to war with a nation that had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with 9/11?!? Not sure what just made me think of that... weird.
