NOAA Cuts Leave Wind Chimes As Sole Predictor Of Approaching Hurricanes

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Germany‘s got the best US bases in the world. Beautiful bases. Tremendous. Nobody has anything like it. And, frankly, we’re giving them to the US for free. Can you imagine that? For free! It’s nasty what they’re doing to us, really. So we want a better deal. The US‘s gotta pay. They gotta pay. 🫲🫱

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Can you imagine thinking a government employee making 40K processing Medicaid payments to a parent with medically fragile children is the enemy, while thinking a billionaire who sends his sperm to random women and takes billions from the government to go to Mars is the good guy? WTF.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Ich weiß nicht, was schlimmer ist: Das heutige Telefonat mit Putin oder die Tatsache, dass in Deutschland bei den Wahlen über Migration diskutiert wird, statt über die Gefahr, die von Russland als größte Herausforderung für uns alle in Europa ausgeht.

The State Department expects to spend $400 million on armored electric vehicles made by Elon Musk's Tesla. While Donald Trump screeches loudly on TV against EVs and claims that Elon can police his own conflicts of interest... He's handing Elon massive government contracts hoping nobody will notice

Extreme MAGA Republicans spent last year promising to lower costs. And lying about their connection to Project 2025. They have spent this year implementing the extreme Project 2025 agenda. And haven’t done a damn thing to lower the high cost of living.

Sen Andy Kim (D-NJ) to NBC “What we’re seeing right now with the Trump admin over the last week is very clearly a (US) retreat when it comes to rest of the world. China doesn’t even need to fight for their influence around the world now because of our own effort. We are doing China’s work for them”

Liebe Tagesschau, bei allem Verständnis für unaufgeregte und neutrale Berichterstattung, aber ein Staatsstreich ist kein "Bürokratieabbau". So wenig wie eine Enthauptung eine Kopfschmerztherapie ist.

Nein, liebe FAZ, Musk hat mit Twitter eben NICHT bewiesen, dass er 'Unternehmen restrukturieren, fokussieren und wieder aufbauen kann'. Oder würdet Ihr auch einen Gartenbetrieb mit Lob überschütten, der alle Bäume eines Parks abholzt, die Büsche rodet und aus der Brache eine Giftmülldeponie macht?

So just so we’re clear, Trump’s international plans now include invading Denmark and Panama and possibly Mexico, economically forcing Canada to be the 51st state, and a permanent occupation of Gaza with ethnic cleansing. All while Elon loots the Treasury and puts it on the blockchain.

HOLD UP. Did Trump just say he will put tariffs on medications? Americans already pay more for prescription medications than anywhere in the world - and he wants us to pay EVEN MORE? Americans want cheaper drug prices. Trump is giving us higher taxes instead.

this is the crux of the problem with Trump’s ludicrous tariff threats: they are so over the top that domestic politics in a lot of countries will prevent them from backing down from a trade war because capitulating makes them look like a vassal state there’s no face saving available

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

Trump hat ein Dekret unterschrieben, um den Ausbau von Windenergie zu stoppen. Ausgerechnet im konservativen Texas sorgt Windkraft aber für 25% der Energie. Auch Solar und Batteriespeicher werden im Ölstaat immer wichtiger. Warum das so ist und warum die Branche trotz Trump nicht schwarz sieht ⬇️

A useful article by the BBC on Elon Musk and his interventions on child sexual abuse. Produced by the Verify, rather than the news arm, and currently situated fairly low down on the BBC News site... A report like this should be given prominence, considering how Musk's claims led the UK's news agenda

I don't understand the political timidity when it comes to regulating social media. These are companies that have decimated the free press, fuelled race riots on our streets, undermined the mental health of our children, paid little tax and are now undermining liberal democracy itself.
