Job cuts or not, the WFO was properly staffed for this event at the time and all products were timely and should have saved lives.

NWS can still handle an isolated event like this "as normal". It's back to back days that it cannot. NWS has ability to forecast when it needs everyone in the office.

RIP USAID — all remaining 900 employees will be fired.

Trump signs order aiming to eliminate 'anti-American ideology' from Smithsonian institutions President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order directing Vice President JD Vance - a member of the Smithsonian Board of Regents - to eliminate "improper, divisive, or anti-American ideology" from Smithsonian museums, education and research centers and the National Zoo, the White House said.

Trump signed an executive order that "improper, divisive or anti-American ideology" is removed from the Smithsonian Institution

The order singles out the National Museum of African American History and Culture as problematic

On March 9, 2025, in support of President Trump’s executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism, and in coordination with the Department of State, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student. Khalil led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. ICE and the Department of State are committed to enforcing President Trump’s executive orders and to protecting U.S. national security.

DHS confirms that it arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student. They say that ICE arrested him in coordination with the State Department in order to enforce President Donald Trump's executive order to deport student protesters.

You think Vance blew his chances? You have a higher opinion of Republican voters than I do. Many are defending that behavior.

Good summary - But before that:
January 16 - Elon Musk Space X Rocket Exploded
January 17 - FAA says Elon and Space X reckless and unsafe
January 18 - Elon bullies FAA after FAA wants to fine Elon
January 19 - Elon tells Trump to fire FAA Director.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired
➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen
➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded
➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees
➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years

To them, it's just another story about a corrupt cop. They told me they aren't interested in "social justice" stories after "The George Floyd era."

To me, this is a story about the cops, prosecutors, judges and the SYSTEM that allowed it to happen.

For five years, I have been covering what is unquestionably the biggest criminal justice scandal in American history.

Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life.

But it's not over.

A thread.

Politics.

"No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems--of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind."
-Thomas Sowell.

Contemplating changes.

Sounds like you're against patriarchy and abusive relationships. Marriage is used to prop those up. Does that mean that marriage itself is bad? (My bias: I am a woman married to a man and we're both independently functioning adults who respect each other.)

They contrast themselves with Republicans, but the truth is they have way more in common.

Started this book recently, like it so far. It compares broad educations to early specialization.

This question has been weighing on my mind: If you know that you will die in 5 years, would you make different choices today? If the answer is yes, what's stopping you from making those changes now?

Immigration ‘will boost US economy by $7 trillion’ over next decade The GDP hike is expected to add an extra $1 trillion in revenue to the government’s coffers.

Improving the pathway for legal immigration helps the economy, yet politicians just want to demonize those who are coming. I'm lucky that my family arrived before the rules were changed. #Immigration #Migrants
