SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership.

All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:
FEMA employee terminated for signing whistleblower letter
It appears to be a major violation of federal whistleblower protections and constitutional rights.

An episode Strange New Worlds is too afraid to do.
Wrote what is maybe my favorite story in a while: I wrote about the suburb of Berlin where Germans get together at Old Texas Town and pretend to live in a Wild West Texas. Now, it's going to be demolished for a data center: www.chron.com/culture/arti...
Old Town Texas is a slice of Texas in Germany. It's about to be destroyed.
Here, Germans wear Stetsons and line dance. But their little slice of Texas may soon be no more.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the chemical industry.
