I was shocked when I first saw these results from standard climate models used in IPCC reports: for high emissions, the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC shuts down in all 9 models that ran past 2100, and is well on the way to shutdown by 2100.
Our paper on that is out today.🧵

Will ICE try to prevent blue districts from voting? If that fails, will they reject the results, in a midterm version of Jan 6? Call me alarmist, but remember: The alarmists have been right, & the people telling us to calm down have been wrong, every step of the way

These people aren’t evil masterminds; evil yes, mms no. They’re just thugs too crude and undisciplined to control their own thuggishness. They were caught off guard by the strength of the resistance because citizens standing up for their principles is alien to them

The West Wing Inspiration

Season 2 Episodes 18 onward. “Did the president lie about his health? Did you lie about his health?“

When Democrats get control in 2026 it’s time for hearings for all the people who have committed perjury about his health.

Peter Baker underscored the contradiction between images from Minneapolis and federal officials’ proclamations:

“One of the central questions in American life today is whether a picture is worth more than a thousand of Mr. Trump’s words.”
February 2, 2026 at 2:20 PM
Referring to the ICE officers flooding Minneapolis’s streets: “These agents, and the president who sent them, are no one’s heroes, no one’s saviors — just men with guns who have to hide their faces to shoot a mom in the face, and a nurse in the back.”

“Melania is where she wants to be, in the bosom of a corrupt family that is prostituting the People’s House. Following up her shady ventures into NFTs & a meme coin, the first lady got a windfall from Jeff Bezos, who certainly wanted to curry favor with her husband

Attorney Brad Edwards, who has represented Epstein victims for more than 20 years, said survivors’ names appeared unredacted in the recent disclosure, including women never before publicly associated with the case.

It’s not over. Half released, half to go.

The DOJ released over 3 million pages, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images related to Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, while withholding roughly half of the 6 million documents it collected.

Favorite “Melania” movie comment:
“We had a Best of the Worst film festival in college, you had to pay to get out. It benefitted charity. Ishtar, Howard the Duck, Hudson Hawk, and the coup de grace the Vanilla Ice Movie.
This would make it into future ones, but it may violate the Geneva Convention.

Warsh for fed chair?
“Many describe Warsh as a monetary hawk. Wrong. Warsh is a political animal. He calls for tight money & opposes any attempt to boost the economy when Dems hold the White House. Like all Trumpers, he’s for lower interest rates since Nov. 2024.

Our entire system of law is based on the understanding that no one can escape punishment if they commit a crime in broad daylight, with the whole world watching. In a police state the law applies to ordinary people, but not to the police - which includes ICE.

If ICE Can Kill With Impunity, the Rule of Law Is Already Gone
If ICE agents can shoot civilians at point-blank range and never be held accountable, then we aren’t living under the rule of law. We’re living in a police state.

The stock JOBY is ripe to buy. Expect it to double in one year. I have some to my grand nephew and expect it to be 10x by 2030 and 30x by 2040.

Check out this video. This is the future of transportation.

They shot him three times in the back! What more do you need to know. These thugs must be thrown off the streets.
January 26, 2026 at 8:47 AM
Isn’t this murder?
So a person trying to protect another person for spraying mace in her face ends up being shot in the back 3 times by one guy and a total of 10 times by a bunch of guys. And these guys are ICE. And these guys can wear masks so no one knows even who they are. Do I get this right?
