Summary

California officials warned that Trump’s order to release massive amounts of water nearly caused severe flooding for farmers.

Trump boasted about the move, claiming it would help fight wildfires, but experts said the water couldn’t reach affected areas, which are over 200 miles away.

The Army Corps of Engineers initially planned to release water at maximum capacity but scaled back after urgent pushback.

Experts warned the water could have been better used months later for irrigation.

    The Conservative subs have been really quiet for the last few days, after all their glee a fortnight ago.

    Almost like they are hiding.

      Oh no don’t worry there is plenty of leopards eating people’s faces going on. I’ve seen so many crying about how these tariffs are gonna cost them jobs. Also saw some posts by conservative women pissed off when they found out DEI includes them as well not just people of colour

        Half of it. The other half is on full r/LeopardsAteMyFace mode.

          I don’t know about the .ee instance, but the .world one tends to have every post downvoted to zero and every comment stating why conservatives are wrong. I try to keep my ear to the ground and know what crazy talking points conservatives are believing and the .world sub is pretty much useless for that. I don’t think there’s a single conservative that actually uses that sub.

            Likewise, I like to pop into them from time to time. Check up on what insanity is their new flavor of the month.

      Hopefully, they are thinking about their decision to vote for a guy who’s coming to destroy their lives, too.

        “they are thinking”

        You give them too much credit.
