An insane press release from an insane administration:
"Secretary Noem Terminates Inept FEMA Employees After Uncovering Massive Cyber Failures, Demands Accountability"
According to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, she fired two dozen IT employees at FEMA over an alleged security incident in which "no sensitive information was extracted from any DHS networks."
To Noem, the real problem isn't cybercriminals outside of FEMA who want to break in, it's the "deep state" bureaucrats who are the real threat, the insider.
"When DHS stepped in to fix the problem, entrenched bureaucrats worked to prevent us from solving the problem and downplayed just how bad this breach was. These deep-state individuals were more interested in covering up their failures than in protecting the Homeland and American citizens’ personal data, so I terminated them immediately."
"The entrenched bureaucrats who led FEMA’s IT team for decades resisted any efforts to fix the problem. Instead, they avoided scheduled inspections and lied to officials about the scope and scale of the cyber vulnerabilities."
dhs.gov/news/2025/08/29/secret…
The always on-point Risky Business newsletter notes FEMA insiders who spoke to CNN shortly after the firings last Friday painted a totally different picture and described the ousted IT team and its leaders as "extremely competent" and "highly respected."
"At this point in time, and taking into account the declining credibility of any statements coming out of the Trump administration, it is unclear if a breach even took place or if Noem and the DHS are trying to make up reasons to fire FEMA staff to bring in their loyal lackeys into the agency instead."
"The White House has been grasping at straws for months to find reasons to fire FEMA staff and leadership."
"It previously administered lie detector tests to FEMA top officials and fired the FEMA CFO after she made payments authorized by DOGE a day before."
"According to multiple reports, the Trump administration is intent on disbanding the agency altogether, or at least downsizing it to minuscule levels and leaving US states to handle their own natural disasters."

I try not to, but sometimes it's the least-worst option if I spot some obvious mistake or misleading phrase/word.
Apologies for the notification from the edit 😳 , I try to only edit very soon after publication and do a reply instead if it's been boosted a lot already.

Offering a finger* to the far right won't "quell a fractious #immigration debate". Offer them a finger and they will demand the whole arm.
The only way out of this escalation spiral of failed "tough on immigration" policies is the staunch upholding of human rights for everyone.
The only finger one must give the far right is the middle one 🖕.

Bixby In The Golden Hour:
I've generally been avoiding Bixby Bridge in Big Sur these days as it is getting a little overcooked by Influencers/Tourists.
Even so, it is a spectacular piece of engineering in one of the most beautiful places in the world. So if I do find a moment where I’m not surrounded by 1,000 people, and it is something different from what I have taken before, I’ll take a shot.
This evening (and viewed from the Old Coast Road) was one of those times.
