One of the worst things about Politico is its anonymous sourcing that lets unidentified people take cheap, personal potshots. Not defending Karine Jean-Pierre, just saying that good journalists don‘t allow this. And news flash: It’s possible to “speak with candor” and be identified at the same time.

The government abrogating its responsibility and leaving nonprofits to pick up the tab means that this is a VERY good time to donate specifically to local direct services organizations.
FEMA has denied or not advanced most Kerr County aid applications after deadly July 4 flood
Advocates are questioning why so many applicants from the flood-ravaged county have not received federal disaster help. Nonprofits are trying to fill in the gaps.

This is among the best explainer I’ve seen so far regarding the Texas floods particularly because Alan ties together the meteorology issues and the emergency management issues.
I have spent the last 24 hours looking at media reports and social media posts about the Texas Hill County tragedy and being appalled by the level of misinformation I am seeing. I have tried to put together an updated, more reasoned summary I hope you'll read.

Journalists: tell the stories of how people survive through collective action and mutual aid. Tell the stories of how people resist through not obeying dehumanizing laws. Tell the stories of how people act in solidarity, *especially* under the most threatening conditions.
