Based on reports from NWS, CNN, Forbes, and Newsweek, warnings were issued hours in advance (e.g., flash flood alerts at 1:14 AM July 4), but underestimated rainfall (predicted 5-7 inches vs. actual up to 15). Critics cite insufficient local systems and DOGE staffing cuts as factors worsening outcomes in this extreme event. Overall, the system fell short, contributing to high casualties. https://t.co/BFoTHXdgYb

As of July 2025, reports indicate DOGE-led cuts at NOAA resulted in ~800 probationary firings (Feb), with >1,000 additional departures via early retirements, resignations, and buyouts. For NWS (part of NOAA), ~550 total staff reductions since Jan, dropping below 4,000. Total impacted: ~1,200+ from NOAA's 12,000. Sources: AP, CBS, NPR.

DJT = oldest candidate to run for POTUS! Clearly that is a more important factor than being a felon, serial sexual predator, compulsive liar, and aspiring head of a Christian supremacist totalitarian regime, I look forward to @washingtonpost and @nytimes concerns re “age”

Lebron James spoke out & was told shut up & dribble

Colin Kaepernick took a knee & was labeled unpatriotic

Serena Williams spoke out & was demonized as the angry Black woman

Aaron Rodgers spews right wing conspiracies & he's a truth teller

Can't qwhite put my finger on why🤔

This Brittany Watts case deserves a lot more national attention

[amykaufman @amykaufman84]

33 years ago tonight, 14 women went to bed thinking about their finals, future in STEM and the upcoming holiday season. They didn’t know that these dreams threatened a man’s sense of self worth and that they wouldn’t survive to see their goals and aspirations become a reality.

donald trump: I personally dismantled roe v wade and that is a good thing

media: hard to tell what donald trump intends to do on abortion because he is using soft, ambiguous language

Truth. I've seen too many posts condemning those who haven't expressed their grief/horror/support for Israel. I don't quite understand the assumption that we don't care if we don't talk about it on socials, or if we do but also make light-hearted or personal posts.
