NBC's top climate reporter quits In an exclusive interview, veteran NBC meteorologist Chase Cain opens up about burnout, suppression, and why he's going independent.

Corporate broadcast coverage of climate change fell 35% in the last year, even as Trump systemically dismantled climate policy and billion-dollar disasters rose

The gradual deprioritization led NBC climate reporter Chase Cain to hit a breaking point, and he quit last week

Here's our interview:

Every week, the Boston Globe reminds me why I'm glad I stopped giving my money to the centrist Republican billionaires that run it

Judging by how they cut MassSave just last week, it's depressing that MA's centrist Dems will probably react to this not with, how can we increase EVs & transit & help people drive less, but with, how can we subsidize gasoline?? Gas tax cut probably incoming, right?

Aside from one brief mention of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's opposition way down in the corner, the 2/3 of Americans who oppose the Iran War have had zero representation on the NYT home page news section this entire week

No license yet for World Cup games as Foxborough asks for public safety funding up front β€œIt’s not acceptable for us,” Foxborough Select Board Chair Bill Yukna told lawyers for the Boston hosting committee Tuesday night.

Bob Kraft, net worth $13.8B, wants Foxborough to hold the bag on $7.8M in World Cup security costs

Good for the Select Board telling him to GFY

Canada and Australia leaders urge war de-escalation, but agree Iran can’t get nuclear weapons - The Boston Globe Canada’s Mark Carney and his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese discussed the war during their meeting in Australia’s capital, Canberra.

β€œIran was always right to think it needed nukes to protect itself from unprovoked US-led attacks, as this week has proved” is a true statement you are not allowed to say in our media

Broadcast climate coverage declined again in 2025, a three-year drop from its 2022 peak. Coverage still rarely connects climate disasters and impacts to fossil fuels or federal policy, which matters as Trump's climate rollbacks continue to advance. www.mediamatters.org/broadcast-ne...

 although Republican incumbents are running in a nasty national environment and although they are expected to lose some seats in November, the GOP is still favored to hold onto its majorities in both chambers because of several baked-in-the-cake advantages, including money, few retirements, safely-drawn seats, and a party apparatus that is adept at turning campaigns to local issues and turning out voters through micro targeting and hard work.

Will never forget Halperin saying in June 2006 that, even though all signs were pointing against Republicans, they'd surely win anyway because Democrats are stupid & lazy

Politico: Trump is running out of time to sell his rationale for Iran war
Senior officials keep offering justifications for the conflict with Tehran that the president upends.

Love how the msm invents new rules for Trump. He gets to come up for a reason for the war AFTER he starts it. What a lucky little fellow.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Another day, zero mention of Iran war opposition anywhere on homepages of CNN, NBC, NYT or WaPo

CNN makes clear that non-Trump supporters don't count, with "Analysis: How much is Trump’s base on board with war with Iran? It’s complicated"

Getting granular with the claim that Trump is some media wizard - PressThink That our President is a master of media manipulation is a view commonly expressed by American journalists. I doubt it.

Boston police officials dominate the list of highest-paid city workers in 2025 - The Boston Globe The top 10 highest-paid city employees were all Boston police lieutenants, captains, and sergeants, with each making more than $435,000 in 2025.

Boston crime is at historic lows, but it's paying cops half a million a year while laying off teachers

Unbelievably frustrating that Mass Democrats have responded to high fossil gas prices by cutting energy efficiency programs. Fossil gas prices will drive up electricity rates anyway, and now we have fewer resources to help people deal with them.

Everyone Hates This Highway. What’s the Best Way to Fix It?

Just realizing Harry hasn’t had any digestive issues or yakked on the rug for the longest stretch of his life, and it’s probably because everything he’d usually get into trouble eating (rabbit πŸ’© is not free candy on the street) has been buried under 3 feet of ❄️ for two months straight
