Although Donald Trump says he has “destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military Capability”, the 0% that apparently remains is playing havoc with the global economy by choking off 10-15% of its oil supply economist.com/united-states/…

The most dangerous habit in American government is putting political loyalists in charge of the emergency management team This latest example is alarming not only because of the controversies surrounding Mr Phillips, but because it echoes the loudest warning in modern disaster history: Michael Brown and the failed Hurricane Katrina response FEMA leadership cannot be a consolation prize, a political favor, or an ideological project. It is a role for proven professionals with operational experience, credibility, sound judgment, and respect for the discipline of emergency management We’ve seen this movie before. The ending was a disaster. t.co/mObIS7ugXk

Mr. Phillips says that he has worked in disaster zones and emergency responses for four decades. He has stressed his Christian faith as a motivating factor in his disaster work “I’ve seen the best of America’s contractors walk away in disgust over the inept FEMA contract managers." he wrote. "Specifically, they have failed to deliver a comprehensive and detailed plan for working with the faith community.”

After a century of essential public messaging, CBS News Radio is being shuttered. Another resilient layer stripped away as we keep putting all of our eggs in the super-fragile smartphone basket A seemingly innocuous business decision for CBS News. A meaningful concentration of risk for everyone within earshot of its 700 affiliated stations nationwide washingtonpost.com/business/2026/…
