Trump Administration Readies Plans to Dismantle Renowned Science Lab

This should be the biggest weather and climate news on your radar today.

You can send an email today to say why dismantling NCAR is a bad idea for everyone: NSF_NCAR@nsf.gov

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Don't forget the 168 bombed little girls from 7-12 yrs old.

They had nothing to do with this.

70% of them identified by DNA because most were missing limbs and heads.

They could've verified by satellite the girls on recess but used old intel instead.

It's criminal and Trump belongs in a cell.

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.

You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

In anti-Muslim post, Tuberville suggests New York’s Mamdani is ‘the enemy’ The Alabama senator, who is running for governor, has previously called for the mass expulsion of Muslims from the United States.

It is both pathetic & dangerous to see Republicans actively stoking a religious war in a country that was founded on the value of religious freedom.
 
Fortunately, the good people of NYC did not fall for this grotesque, bigoted fear mongering against @mayor.nyc.gov.

First of all, we have to assume now that they are lying about even “dozens.” Second, this is like re-establishing the eastern direction of the sunrise. Mass voter fraud doesn’t exist in 🇺🇸, & anyone who lies that it does should be shunned from polite society & no longer taken seriously in the media.

Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people?

Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran. 

Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth?
Hegseth: We’re investigating. 

Trump: It was done by Iran. They are very inaccurate with their munitions.

this is unspeakable

Trump cut off supplies of Sidewinder missiles for Ukraine’s F-16s, which limited their ability to prevent Russian strikes on Ukraine’s cities during the dead of winter when Putin ramped up attacks. And yet, when we need help with interceptor drones for Iran, Ukraine offered them without hesitation.

I understand the pressures on Rutte but he really has turned into a hapless buffoon. Helping to eradicate the rules based order he believes he's upholding.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Most people in England & Wales are not Christian, and it’s axiomatic to a free society that religious beliefs - or the lack of them - are irrelevant to civic participation. Britain is a pluralist, not a Christian, society; and this is one more reason to fight Reform UK.

I'm a retired Army logistics planner that wrote the logistics plan for Western Iraq that became Army policy.

Here's what I think is happening by looking at the logistics of ICE:

A nation wide network of enslavement camps, offices and warehouse enslavement factories are being put together under ICE. Contractors are the same ones that operate southern prison factories.

Warehouses are also perfect for setting up water cremations. 90% less energy, no smoke stacks and easily set up in a warehouse. Sodium hydroxide is cheap and readily available. Just need water and sewer connections.

We need to track sodium hydroxide purchases, test downstream water, and track water cremation equipment purchases.

Conservative Georgia town pushes back against ICE detention center: ‘We are Americans after all’ Social Circle, a mostly Maga town, builds strange bedfellow coalition against plans to convert warehouse

"The Social Circle city manager was contacted by ICE...

“They asked me to turn on the water,” he said of a 1m sq ft warehouse nearby that the government plans to use for locking up as many as 10,000 detainees.

“I told them I’m not going to do it,” he said...

Trump CANNOT legally impose a 15% global tariff because the United States does not meet the clear emergency economic conditions envisioned by Section 122. If Trump tries to invoke it, that would certainly face immediate legal challenges, economic pushback, and potential congressional scrutiny.
