Trump and Republicans set this up as an unprecedented power grab so they can slash and burn government services on their terms. I’m a firm NO — on cloture and final passage — on this ‘CR’

Since 1995, all government shutdowns have occurred when Republicans controlled the House, and in all but one of the five shutdowns, Republicans also controlled the Senate. Republicans currently have complete control of the federal government. If there is a shutdown, it is their fault—again.

He’s going to spend 5x as much time talking about transgender kids as the price of groceries and gas. Guess why? Because prices are going way up and he’s not doing shit.

As I read comments on social media posts about NOAA, I am calling on all of my broadcast media friends to do a story about everything that NOAA does for the public.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

Please enjoy my last ever post at Climate.gov/ENSO Blog. This afternoon I was fired by the Trump Administration 15 days before my 2yr probationary period ended on March 13. I have worked at NOAA since 2010, and I'm so incredibly proud of the work I did. If anyone wants a quote, let me know.

The mass firing of both new hires and recently promoted senior staff within #NOAA, including mission-critical and life-saving roles at the National Weather Service (#NWS), is profoundly alarming. 1/11

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Finally a cold storm on the table for Northern California. Snow levels should remain at or below pass level (Donner, Echo) the entire week. Early predictions paint 2-4 feet of snow above 5,000 feet, with light accumulations perhaps as low as 2,000 feet Thursday in the far northern Sierra. #CAwx

The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.

I don't need you to report on what Trump is doing. I need you to use your position, your power, your persuasion to grind everything to a halt, @schiff.senate.gov. You're my Senator. So... start senatoring this disaster.

Across the TV news landscape, coverage of Trump's inauguration was soft. Networks almost entirely avoided using terms like "twice-impeached" or "convicted felon." On CNN, neither term was used a single time, per a search of closed captioning. More in @status.news: www.status.news/p/the-invasi...

By my count, there were 37 new wildfire starts in SoCal in just the past 48hr — during PDS Red Flag Warning. None of them became news stories b/c they were all stopped by fire crews within 1-2hrs. During the worst Jan. weather conditions in California history. Huge, huge props to firefighters. ♥️

They were just reaching home when it suddenly came The gold light returned like an arrow-shot flame It lit on the tree top where they could see from afar The golden-like sphere turned into a star The old crone just smiled at the beautiful sight Happy Yuletide, my children, she whispered.

It has been exceptionally wet in parts of northern California, and exceptionally dry across most of southern California--resulting in a remarkable north-south "precipitation dipole." Will this likely continue? In a word: yes. #CAwx #CAwater #CAfire weatherwest.com/arch...

Just had a rare tornado warning for San Francisco! Looks like this is the first ever tornado warning for San Francisco County since at least the 1980s (as far back as the records go I could find!) #cawx
