Could the Girls of Camp Mystic Have Been Saved? Twenty-seven children died in a Texas flood, dividing families over whether it was an act of God or adult failure.

We can easily and quickly put the wondering to bed. It was adult failure. And adult greed. And Texas.

What Camp Mystic can learn from the Aggie Bonfire tragedy. | Opinion The camp says it's not legally accountable for the tragedy. To trust it with girls' lives, we need more than that, writes Bob Fleming. And Texas A&M can show how.

You failed to keep your caucus from voting to confirm Noem. How are you holding them all accountable?

Don’t limit the investigation to Epstein. #CampMystic families deserve justice. Immigrant families deserve justice. The Dems that voted YEA on Noem should step up.

Like so many others, he was always completely out of his depth. But he’ll always have his response to the July 4-5 flood of Tie Guadeloupe River that claimed all those little girls at #CampMystic and others.

FEMA head resigns. Richardson had been hard to reach during Texas floods. David Richardson resigned Monday after a brief tenure leading the Federal Emergency Management Agency

Good riddance #CampMystic
