This weekend, AZ may get slammed with severe rain and flooding from the remnants of Hurricane Priscilla.

Please watch the weather, monitor emergency alerts from the AZ EIN & the Maricopa County Dept. of Emergency Management, and make a plan for your household with Ready.gov (EN)/ Ready.gov/es (ES).

Last year FEMA received credible threats from locals who had been radicalized online following Hurricane Helene and needed Law Enforcement escort...

It was the biggest item in the news, and Miller wants you to forget about it.

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Jenna is not wrong. We are growing stronger together across the entire federal family , and I’m proud to be part of that. His effort to divide us is only driving us closer together.

No matter what happens, this alone means we’ve won,

Jenna Norton @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social · 4h

Proud of my colleagues for speaking out!

There is so much power when people come together.

Trump knows that, and that’s why everything he does aims to divide us.

But we see through that and are growing stronger together!

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise
