Ya know what they say about pointing fingers: Three fingers are always pointed back at you. Texas, NY Times, Paramount, DoJ, Oval Office, MAGA -- there aren't enough mirrors to go around.

It actually has a lot more to do with how the CAP messages were formatted and what XML tags were used, as to whether or not those messages were sent to WEA (phones), EAS/Weather Radio and so on.
I went through the raw output files from AWIPS and put it all together.

I write my blogs ahead of time. Today is no different. It has an uncanny parallel to the events that are now unfolding, although I had no idea at the time of writing that it would prove on point.

There is a massive opportunity here but only if we can maintain and build momentum; we cannot let off the gas on this, not even a little
Couple things I learned today:
- Seniors are extremely fired up about this
- "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now
- People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA
- We all we got, we all we need

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.

Inflaming and provoking violence and division and threatening to deploy military resources against your own people is not a show of strength — it’s abuse of power and a sign of leadership without a moral compass or regard for the law.
We are a democracy. We stand strong. You cannot intimidate us.

Healthcare needs stability - HCA CEO says, “While we have a general sense for the new administration’s stated priorities, we do not have any specifics. It is unclear how these efforts might be carried out and what effects they may have on our business.” Why does DJT make us so sick?

How do hospitals stay in business? 4 issues need attention:reimbursement, profit/loss margins, technology needs, policy changing (minute to minute under DJT). All that means zip if you need care. But if the hospital isn't there for you, then it means everything!

I don't want to cry "wolf", but folks, the proposed budget cuts to Medicaid are draconian! We absolutely must stop Congress from enacting this legislation. It is a death sentence! medicareadvocacy.org/draft-budget-concerns/

Proposed Budget would gut HHS, cut programs for those in need. Hopefully Congress will do something about it.
