Also, for the love of God, can we not refer to NCAR As a “climate lab?” It does a hell of a lot more than just climate.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

A deeply dangerous — and blatantly retaliatory action against Colorado — by the Trump administration.

NCAR is one of the most renowned scientific facilities in the WORLD — where scientists perform cutting-edge research everyday.

We will fight this reckless directive with every legal tool we have.

These people are nuts. NCAR developed the GPS dropsonde, which revolutionized the understanding of TC structure, improved forecasts, and validated remote sensing platforms, as documented in over 400 peer-reviewed publications in the last 25 years. And that’s just one of NCAR’s countless advances.

Trump’s current Chief of Staff Susie Wiles on the Trump admin:

—Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality.”
—Vance has been “a conspiracy theorist for a decade.”
—Musk is “an avowed ketamine [user].”
—Vought is “a right-wing absolute zealot.”
—Bondi “completely whiffed” the Epstein Files.

Victims of Epstein's abuse—like 17-year-old Danielle Bensky, who was coerced with false promises of help for her mom’s brain tumor—deserve justice and transparency.

They deserve the full release of these files, without redactions intended to protect Trump or other influential people.

It cannot be an offense to repeat what the law itself clearly states: Soldiers are not required to follow illegal commands. This is political persecution, and it must end now.

People will die without ACA subsidies to help pay for their healthcare, aren’t you concerned about that?

Mike “Death Panel” Johnson:
“I don’t know what you mean, it’s the first time I’m hearing that.”
BREAKING: Mike Johnson just said he won't call a vote this year to extend enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act — effectively guaranteeing they will expire at the end of this month.

Biden took over a shutdown economy in the middle of a global pandemic that brought on global inflation. The economic headlines leading up to the 2024 election were mostly about how our economic recovery was the envy of the world.

I'm getting really tired of hearing these whiners tell this lie.
JD Vance lies that Biden "gave us the worst economy in the world"

Hey PNW, and Montana.

Are y'all ok?

Seriously. Since there is a ton of distraction. Washington state, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana are currently treading water.

Thankfully no loss of life reported as of now. Hopefully that will remain the case.

Always amazing that MAGAGOP thinks they can create a narrative that Americans will just automatically believe. FYI we are not as stupid as they are or as stupid as they think we are.

TEXAS NEEDS TERM LIMITS FOR GOVERNOR‼️

Gov Abbott announced that Texas has launched a partnership with Turning Point USA to create chapters on every high school campus.

He warned schools that any attempt to block a TPUSA club should be reported and will face “meaningful disciplinary action.”

Add this to the oxidative stress of poverty, which kills us early.

So does a lack of medical care.

Et voilà, dystopia.

They don’t know what it means to be in physiological survival mode 24/7, under constant threat of homelessness, or not being able to feed your children.

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

Americans are ready for the post MAGAGOP world. Get it together Democrats for a 2026 win. Come up with a campaign platform that stands on its own merits and doesn’t require MAGAGOP talking points.

This totally sounds like something Trump would do. (And almost certainly has done.)
There are people exploiting undocumented immigrants by hiring them to do day labour at their homes, and then calling ICE to avoid having to pay them.

It’s despicable.

Do not be the person who turns in an immigrant friend, neighbour or employee.

Do not aid fascists.

Dear male White House reporters,

The next time Trump insults one of your female colleagues, if one of you doesn’t interject and say “Excuse me, sir, but fuck you.” God is going to lose his mind.
