"What Kelly didn’t mention, but which has since become well known, is that the Weather Service employee whose job it was to make sure those warnings got traction — Paul Yura, the long-serving meteorologist in charge of “warning coordination” — had recently taken an unplanned early retirement amid cuts pushed by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. He was not replaced.
To a Washington bean counter, his loss might have looked like one tiny but welcome subtraction in a giant spreadsheet, but not in a region so prone to these perilous events that it’s known as Flash Flood Alley. Hundreds of kids at summer camps slept in cabins along the river. The plan was for folks at the upstream camps to send word to the downstream camps if floodwaters got scary. But if even the highest official in the county wasn’t on high alert, how were the camp counselors supposed to understand the danger — or, in an area without reliable cellphone coverage, to act on it?"

US sanctions UN expert Francesca Albanese, critic of Israel's Gaza offensive
The Trump administration is imposing sanctions on the UN Human Rights Council special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, an outspoken critic of Israel's military offensive in Gaza.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio linked the move to her support for the International Criminal Court (ICC), some of whose judges have already been sanctioned by the US.
Rubio said the US was sanctioning Ms Albanese for directly engaging with the ICC in its efforts to prosecute American or Israeli nationals, accusing her of being unfit for service as a UN Special Rapporteur.

i wonder if something like this would ever happen given that the united states is practically un-invadeable compared to germany with the 2 biggest oceans on opposite sides that include an american dominated navy along with 2 buffer states to the north and south that are economically and politically dominated by the united states.
were germany in the same geographic spot and had the same economic and military dominance; the 3rd reich would still be a thing.
Two dead in Houthi speedboat attack on cargo ship in Red Sea

Ellie Shafik of Vanguard Tech, a UK-based maritime risk management company, said: “The pause in Houthi activity did not necessarily indicate a change in underlying intent. As long as the conflict in Gaza persists, vessels with affiliations, both perceived and actual, will continue to face elevated risks.”

No i noticed you haven't read Lenin , he had a few things to say about imperialism. So before you try to define what a Leninist is , or more specifically what a Marxist Leninist is you should read it. Or maybe just see what the people in Donetsk have to say for it.
Even if you are a liberal who always are against all wars except the current one, supports any liberation forces unless they actually isn't angels or have a proper gender diversity. I would give even you critical support if you did something worthwhile instead of just following CIA talking points.
No one thinks Putin or Russia is anti fascist. They are however killing Nazis which is a whole lot better than yours both side argument that always are de facto support for the status quo.
Again why do you know better than the people in Donetsk and rest of eastern Ukraine that rather see themselves as part of Russia and see Russia as liberators that stopped the genocide there?
Perhaps you should be less smug and actually do a deeper analysis of the situation that led to the war? If you did you would quite clearly see that the people of Ukraine are suffering from western imperialism and the war that the west started. And if you actually had a backbone you would also see which side that you have a minicule possibility to effect. But I guess it's easier to have talkingpoints about orcs instead.

US official bypassed safeguards to fast-track $30m to GHF: Report
A US State Department official bypassed nine mandatory counterterrorism and anti-fraud safeguards to approve a $30m aid package for the Gaza aid group backed by Israel and the Trump administration, a news report says.
According to an internal memo obtained by the Reuters news agency, Jeremy Lewin, head of the State Department’s foreign aid programme, signed off on the funding just five days after the GHF submitted its proposal on June 19.
The June 24 memorandum, bearing Lewin’s signature, noted the group’s plan failed to meet “minimum technical or budgetary standards”. Despite that, Lewin approved the funds after consulting aides to Steve Witkoff, Donald Trump’s negotiator on Gaza, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s office.

Until we have ranked choice, "us" is the anti Republican contingent.
You never vote FOR a candidate in a first past the post election. You vote AGAINST who you hate most. And not voting counts as a vote for who you hate most because it lowers their bar to win. It's unfortunately how the math works out.

How Miami’s city commission gave themselves an extra year in office without voters’ permission
Last week, Miami’s city commission told those voters they’ll have to wait an extra year. In a 3-2 vote, the commission changed the city’s election bylaws to push the municipal races back to 2026.
Commissioners said they made the change in the name of cost savings and increased voter engagement when higher-profile races for Congress or the presidency may be on the ballot. But they gave themselves an extra year in office without asking voters for permission first.
Miami city officials cancelled an election. Outraged voters call it a power grab

Nvidia becomes first company to reach $4tn in market value
Chipmaker Nvidia became the first public company in history to scale a $4tn market value on Wednesday as its stock price continues a years-long stratospheric rise.
Shares of the top chip designer rose roughly 2.4% to $164, benefiting from the ongoing surge in demand for artificial intelligence technologies. Nvidia’s chips and associated software are considered world leaders for building artificial intelligence products.
Nvidia achieved a $1tn market value for the first time back in June 2023 and the surge continued unabated with its market value – the total value of its shares – more than tripling in about a year, faster than Apple and Microsoft, the only other US firms with a market value of more than $3tn. Apple was the first company to reach a valuation of $3tn, back in 2022.
