AP News · Judge blocks reallocation of billions meant for disaster mitigationA federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from reallocating more than $4 billion meant to help communities protect against natural disasters. U.S. District Judge Richard G. Stearns on Tuesday granted a preliminary injunction sought by 20 Democrat-led states while their lawsuit over the funding moves ahead. The states argue the Federal Emergency Management Agency lacks the authority to end the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program and redirect more than $4 billion of its funding. The program aims to harden infrastructure around the country against potential storm damage. Noting money for the program was allocated by Congress, the states say any attempt to redirect it would run afoul of the Constitution.

It occurs to me that I've lived through TWO (very small) Tsunamis and watched an actual mountain (St. Helens) blow itself apart. That's probably plenty of disaster for one lifetime, thanks...

No need to worry. This is the last time that the employment numbers are this bad.
Following the firing of Erika McEntarfer, the head of the government agency in charge of monthly jobs data, the king will now provide the real employment numbers.
He guarantees that in the future the employment numbers will look better. /s

It is a disaster. You can’t make this stuff up. My latest for The Energy Mix.
