Canadian snowbirds plan to ditch wintering in the U.S. over economic tensions: survey

It seems more Canadian snowbirds are deciding to either stay home or fly the coop elsewhere this winter to avoid the United States as their vacation destination.

Absolutely true. All they have to do is cut off their own … filibuster. But they don’t want a budget, they want accomplices or, barring that, scapegoats.

SNAP benefits will soon run out. Health care premiums will go up. Federal workers will miss their first full paycheck.

Republicans are using the American people as political pawns in their shutdown. They control the government, they could fix this now.

Few yrs ago, approaching the Antarctic Amundsen Sea, we encountered a giant "pumpkin" bobbing in the waves. As we always try to collect trash, we stopped & hauled it aboard. Turned out it was a Chinese buoy that was lost in Prydz Bay, on the other side of the continent, 5yrs before!
Happy Halloween!

The NOAA vessel I used to work on was in Costa Rican waters when it neared a cabin cruiser. The crew of two, apparently mistaking NOAA for Coast Guard, sped away in a small boat. A half ton of cocaine was aboard. NOAA made a big drug bust without firing a shot or shedding a drop of blood.

Crews are asked “To be fully mentally present, especially in this environment, and it’s hard to do that when you know you can’t potentially make ends meet,” the NOAA staff member said. “You’re dipping into savings to pay off your mortgage, you know, week to week or month to month.” […]

Bills like my Stop NOAA Closures Act is key to stopping Trump from abandoning the fight against climate change.

I’m sorry, the president does not negotiate. You’re very misguided. He demands, commands, bullies, punishes, whines, and rants. There is no negotiation with a clinical narcissist backed by a legion of enablers. You need a new strategy.
