New FEMA flood maps could push Houston’s low-income homeowners to the brink Low-income homeowners worry they may now face new costs before seeing the kind of public investment they have demanded for years.

Poor people bear the cost of climate change in insidious ways, like disinvestment in communities. "Floods and hurricanes don’t discriminate, but for many years, the approach to building infrastructure in Harris County prized ‘shovel-readiness’ and property value over the people hit first & hardest.”

The National Weather Service is awesome. Today’s forecast discussion starts “The radar depicted widespread moderate rain, but only light rain
reached the surface. What`s the deal?! Was it magic?! Nope...even
better...SCIENCE!”

Ken Paxton sues Houston over ICE policy as John Whitmire delays repeal vote Houston city council will now decide whether to revoke its new policy limiting the police department’s interactions with ICE agents on Wednesday after Abbott threatened $114 million in grants.

“It does not matter what a council member's legal opinion is. There’s only one opinion that matters, and that’s the governor’s” is an absolutely absurd thing for a mayor to say. (And this is why Whitmire is the Fetterman of Houston).

So for the south to make it up, they basically need double their normal rainfall for at least 3 months, or about 8 total inches a month. That’s a lot.

Whitmire is the Fetterman of Houston.

Maybe that’s an age where people are smack in the middle of their biggest material needs and have been persuaded GOP policy is good for that. But mostly, I’d like to see the CI bars on the graph and whether differences among age groups are statistically significant before I get too worked up.

“Stick to matters of morality.” Not like war and shit. Interesting though to hear JD Vance of all people say that if policy and the Church are in conflict, it’s no big deal.

The ‘Wild West’ of peptides is booming. Here’s what’s real, what’s risky and what’s next | CNN In the early 2020s, interest in GLP-1 weight loss drugs exploded. Now, as we move deeper into the decade, a new buzzword is taking over: peptides.

There’s going to be a lot of unfortunate FAFO if FDA abdicates its responsibility to ensure that drugs are safe and effective. (Remember, insulin is a peptide and it’s natural. It’s a critical therapeutic, and can be deadly if used wrong).

NBA's Friday slate sees at least 168 out with injury or illness Around the NBA, no fewer than 168 players were held out of Friday's games, including reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, three-time MVP Nikola Jokic and 14 members of the Grizzlies.

Hot take: The NBA has a big problem. If winning games isn’t important enough for your best players to play, either there are too many games or the incentives are perverse.
