And... more information is released. Could the TX tragedy have been avoided? Yes. "BUT HOW?" You ask? By having ONE staff member monitor NWS alerts through the night. Like this one did. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

Quick action by 1 Texas summer camp led to timely evacuations ahead of deadly flood
Despite an absence of warning by local authorities, camp officials acted quickly on their own.

The fact that asymmetric warfare played a little-discussed but significant role in the American Revolution seems worth noting today. One of my ancestors, Francis Marion aka the “Swamp Fox,” developed tactics that now form part of the military doctrine of U.S. Army Rangers. Happy Independence Day.

We’re about to see a bunch of house republicans publicly decry the billionaire bailout bill, only to eventually vote yes on it. Light up the switchboard!

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.

I’m a former Blackhawk pilot and am currently in DC for events. I heard the UH-60 flyby while eating a late dinner at the Wharf. I watched the emergency reponse. It’s unspeakably tragic what happened in very complex airspace at night. I won’t offer my opinion until we know more. People died.

FAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA. There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

Trump’s solution to water in California: “All they have to do is turn the valve.” 🥴 Here are some facts about California water, and it doesn’t involve just turning on a valve so that water can flow south to Los Angeles.

Dear Democratic orgs and politicians, enough is enough! I’m not sending you another $20. Especially if you’re not publicly talking about how to fix our problems as a party. Money won’t save us. Real talk—SPEAK OUT. We’ve been patient, but your silence is exhausting. No action, no donations!

It should prob be remembered that “birthright citizenship” was the product of the abolitionist mvt, which understood that no person of color would be safe from deportation or bondage if their citizenship could be questioned or taken away

For all the reality deniers saying “it was a Roman salute,” yeah, where do you think the Nazis stole it from? Hitler referred to Germany as the third reich. The first German reich was the Holy Roman Empire (962 AD to 1806 AD) The German Kaiser was their Caesar.
