Here is a 54h WV loop of #Melissa as it underwent rapid intensification from a 60 kt TS ➡️ 150 kt cat 5 #Hurricane.

Pay attention to how "warm" eye becomes at the end of the loop which ends at 18 UTC 27 Oct.

Color scale ends at -5C & eye temp on the last few frames was warmer than that 🤯

For the upcoming 20th anniversary of Hurricane #Katrina, I created a track forecast cone comparison for three days before its infamous Louisiana landfall. The purple cone is the actual cone centered on the forecast from 2005 and the green cone shows a hypothetical forecast made in 2025.

How did Republicans vote to block the release of the Epstein files if there were no Epstein files to block …

Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats just maneuvered to force the release of the Epstein investigative material and the Republicans used their majority to block it. We can fix this in the midterms.

Too funny😂😂😂

UPS is laying off 20,000 workers.
The tariffs hit. The robots wait.
This isn’t just bad policy — it’s collapse in motion:
jobs erased by nationalism,
replaced by automation,
sold as innovation.

It’s only getting much play in the trade/transport niche press. But pretty real product shortages beginning in mid-May or so are already locked in. They’re maybe a thousand miles out in the Pacific Ocean. Modern trade takes place in gargantuan container ships. There are very detailed records …

We fired veterans who took crisis calls from other veterans and we will abolish the suicide hotline for LGBT+ people. But never fear: revolutionary data management from DOGE will ensure that you’ll never know how many Americans kill themselves this year.

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance.

Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it.

Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids.

Don’t let this go!!!

I went table to table in a Vero Beach Waffle House asking retirees how the market crash has impacted them. Most laughed with satisfaction, explaining that they’d long ago sold their stocks to invest in $TRUMP coin, $MELANIA coin, and limited edition MyPillows.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Trump tariffs will add 60% to the cost of an iPhone. Not if you buy it in Windsor or Fort Erie! Make smuggling great again, my latest for @theatlantic.com

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he will continue to revoke visas for “people that are supportive of movements that run counter to the foreign policy of the United States.”

This is new. And it doesn’t feel like freedom

Exclusive | Top Vaccine Official Out at FDA In his resignation letter, Dr. Peter Marks cited ‘misinformation and lies’ from Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr.

Today a reporter asked the orange felon if he knew that 4 US troops recently died in Lithuania and he said he didn’t know.

But he surely knew that a building in Colorado displayed a picture of him that he hated and spent an entire day posting about it on social media.

Asshole.

Like we have been saying (warning?) for awhile now, the cool thing about bad stuff like pollution and acid rain and all is that if you don’t have monitoring to show it exists, then it magically doesn’t!

Opinion | We are better off with a vigorous late-70s president wrecking our economy than a feeble early-80s president keeping it steady.
