UGH! When will it end. 😭

"Effective October 15, 2025, due to non-renewed funding, NSIDC has suspended or reduced several Sea Ice Today tools and services."

nsidc.org/data/user-re...

Screenshot that says "Sea Ice Today" and "Ice Sheets Today" Services Reduced. More information is stated: "Beginning October 15, 2025, NSIDC’s Sea Ice Today and Ice Sheets Today services will be reduced because of non-renewed funding. This means no new monthly and mid-month analysis posts for Sea Ice Today or regular posts for Ice Sheets Today, limited comparison tools, and reduced user support."

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

I sense a pardon on its way.

A tweet by Jacob Shamsian reads: “The Wall Street Journal reports that Ghislaine Maxwell had a meeting with an unknown person in her new prison camp, during which the entire prison was on lockdown. Inmates say she’s getting unusually favorable treatment by the prison.”

Ending fossil fuels isn't just about climate change; it's also about health. Researchers found that after a coal-processing facility near Pittsburgh shut down, emergency department visits for respiratory issues dropped 20% in the following month!

The whole linear progress of time thing remains a challenge for MAGA.

A tweet by WeThePeople reads, “Jack Smith was hired months after the raid.” The post quotes a tweet by Aaron Rupar showing Eric Trump in a TV interview, saying, “Sure enough, we find out that Jack Smith is planting manilla folders on the office of my father...” The screenshot shows Eric Trump speaking on a Fox News-style broadcast with a city skyline backdrop.

Confirmed, the "Gaza peace deal" was the same deal offered to Netanyahu and the US repeatdly, but it was turned down by Israel because they wanted to gift Trump (Israeli asset) a perceived victory at the expense of the Israeli hostages and Gaza population.

Is Sean Duffy really THAT dumb or is he aware that he's manipulating the gullible voters? A couple of years ago I'd have thought it was the second option but seeing the anti-education and science denial spread in America, I'm not so sure anymore.
