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:

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?

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.

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.
