This is about the horrific floods in East Texas, in 1994. More to come for this thread. Just remember this:

31 years ago this October. Lt Gov Dan Patrick? He was a RW AM radio shock jock at the time, in HOUSTON.

According to more than a dozen college and uni students, “the Canvas outage threw off their schedules, preventing them from not just submitting and viewing assignments but also from participating in-class activities, contacting professors, and accessing the textbooks and other materials…”

The AWS Outage Was a Nightmare for College Students

The outage impacted online learning platform Canvas, which is used by half of college students across the US, leaving many unable to access course materials or contact professors.

"I'm from the government and I'm here to help," is actually a pretty good slogan and aspiration for a political party.

Kevin Elliott @kjephd.bsky.social · 3h

I suspect a huge part of the reason Republicans are taking the heat for the shutdown is that ending federal programs across the board *just is* the GOP brand. Dems are the party of a government here to help you, & Republicans aren't, so of course as federal programs fail, everyone knows who to blame

Jess Calarco @jessicacalarco.com · 6h

With Trump and his cronies using the shutdown as cover to shut off the food stamp program, food banks will soon be flooded with demand from the 42 million Americans--including 16 million kids--who rely on the program. Which means the rest of us will need to step up and give whatever we can.

At least 135 mutilated bodies of Palestinians had been held at notorious Israeli jail, say Gaza officials

Documents indicate they came from Sde Teiman, which already faces allegations of torture and unlawful deaths * Middle East crisis – live updates At least 135 mutilated bodies of Palestinians returned by Israel to Gaza had been held in a notorious detention centre already facing allegations of torture and unlawful deaths in custody, officials from Gaza’s health ministry told the Guardian. The director general of the health ministry, Dr Munir al-Bursh, and the spokesperson for Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, where the bodies are being examined, said a document found inside each body bag indicated the bodies all came from Sde Teiman, a military base in the Negev desert, where, according to photos and testimonies published by the Guardian last year, Palestinian detainees were held in cages, blindfolded and handcuffed, shackled to hospital beds, and forced to wear nappies.

There's zero reason for anybody to ever make a deal with the US government ever again, if there's a threat that a corrupt demagogue who ascends to the presidency will just tear it up (and threaten your life) for short-term political gain.

Washington Post report details deal that I and other El Salvador watchers have been talking about for years: Bukele made a pact with MS-13, DOJ has known about it, and now Rubio’s State Dept is helping him cover it up by handing over gang leaders in US custody to Bukele to be silenced.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal

To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

🆕 : As federal funding faces threats, state and local finance is taking on new significance.

In a new brief, Oskar Dye-Furstenberg explains how the municipal bond market works, its limitations, and potential reforms.
https://bit.ly/3KLDBqt

Image of a person sitting on a train looking out the window, next to a quote from the Roosevelt Institute “While the municipal bond market is a core tool of financing public infrastructure, progressives ought to be attentive to its limitations and adverse consequences. Discussing the preferential tax treatment of municipal bonds, Franklin D. Roosevelt declared that ‘a fair and effective income tax and a huge perpetual reserve of tax-exempt bonds cannot exist side by side.’” from the article titled 'Financing State and Local Investment: Uses and Limitations of the Municipal Bond Market.'

Maybe, but not likely. If they did, they'd have to check them in and out, so that none become lost or stolen.

Most LEOs assign plates to vehicles. They might assign the vehicle-with-plates, rotating on shifts, or they'd assign the vehicle specifically to certain people (up chain of command).
