In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?”

🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season.

Brilliant timing.

The woman on this plane across the aisle from me is listening to her phone without earphones. An adult. Why does this happen so much? Why do people think this is okay?

If you don’t want to take the booster don’t. But to prevent adults from having the choice is depraved.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

The #FBI just arrested Hannah Dugan, a Wisconsin county judge, for, in their words, “obstructing immigration enforcement.” They have given no further reasons for this arrest.

They didn’t arrest a judge today for breaking the law — they arrested her for upholding it. #Fascism

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

My ancestors taught me to freeze my flour, refrigerate my butter, wash my eggs before I crack them, and never buy meat that is pre-seasoned.

I guess they prepared me for a country that doesn’t test the quality of milk…

A statement by Seth Rogan about the evisceration of science in the US, made at an awards ceremony attended by Schmuckerberg, Bezos, and Brin, was edited out of the final version that aired. The "Breakthrough Prize" *for science* was originally established by Schmuckerberg and Brin.

Boasberg is very much not fucking around here.
