there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Specifically, it was the National Weather Service Modernization and Associated Restructuring, begun in the 70s, which completely overhauled how we predict and respond to rapid weather events.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

There’s a reason the pilots there are really quite talented.

The corruption never ends

Would love to see some reporting on how the airline lobby put on the pressure.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Cowards die many times before their deaths,
The valiant never taste of death but once.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

Good to see two of our stand-up governors standing together on this one. (As they have on many other issues.)

@governor.ca.gov just weighed in to similar effect.

Tuesday’s elections were NOT about the Democratic Party.

They were about candidates focusing on the wants and needs of their constituents; about new leaders prepared to fight; about representation in every sense of the word.

Party leaders haven’t absorbed this yet.

Some Dems fuming about this deal.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth:

“I simply cannot, and I will not, vote to do nothing to help protect [ppl who rely on ACA] from Trump’s vindictive and malicious efforts in exchange for a vague promise from the least trustworthy Republican party in our nation’s history."

A promised vote on the ACA? See, they can’t include the ACA without having to bring the House back into session - and they’d have to swear in Grijalva. That’s what this is all about. Protecting the Epstein files.

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

Weeks, honestly. But I agree. I think Republicans are just leaking this crap to put pressure on Democrats. The details in this story are absurd. They don’t even confirm if any of their sources have any connection to or knowledge of the Democratic offices involved

The BBC is facing a coordinated, politically motivated attack. With these resignations, it’s given in | Jane Martinson The corporation should have stood up to the Telegraph, Trump and the Tories. Now, its enemies know how little it takes for it to fold, says Jane Martinson, professor of financial journalism

Noel Casler doesn't just have "insight" into who (and what) Trump is, he's witnessed a bunch of very ugly things firsthand. After reading Noel's latest Substack, I'm thinking he may be THE person Trump fears most.

Heritage Foundation!

Even before, the whole world knew that russians hide explosives inside children’s toys.
While the world silently watches, they keep committing еvil.
Now russians speak about it themselves — openly.
They speak, and they are proud of it.
Look, world. Don’t stay silent.

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

BREAKING: Trump says that Every American, who isn't a High Income earner, will get $2000 in Cash.

In other words he wants to issue a stimulus check because the economy is sucking.

In other words he wants to increase our deficit by $650 BILLION.

Run against the corruption.
Run against the billionaires.
Run against the oligarchs.
Run against the cruelties.

Seems very similar to the collapse of Columbia Glacier in Alaska in the late 1990’s

Antarctic glacier's alarming retreat is the fastest ever seen Hektoria glacier on the Antarctic Peninsula retreated 25 kilometres in just 15 months. Its rapid melt could have implications for other glaciers and the rate of sea level rise

Perhaps the Dutch can invade NYC and knock down the Heritage Foundation at 148 Ross St, Brooklyn, NY 11211

Right now, Donald Trump is starving children. Right now, Donald Trump is planning more mass-murders on the high seas. Right now, Donald Trump is selling national secrets to our enemies. Right now, Donald Trump is protecting himself & other pedophiles by obstructing the release of the Epstein files.

Hey Republicans!
Open the goddamn government and release the Epstein files you absolutely feckless swamp of pedophile protecting sociopaths.

If you want to understand why the East US will be invaded by Arctic Air down to Florida in… checks notes… early November… look no further than the Arctic being en fuego - relatively speaking. That anomalously warm air/ blocking is “displacing” very cold air far to the South

SCOOP: Alexander Smirnov, the FBI informant convicted of lying about a fake bribery scheme involving the Bidens has been quietly released from prison just months into a six-year sentence—raising concern he could be pardoned by Trump any moment.

Tie it to the minimum wage. If min wage goes up, then legislators and execs can get paid more.
