I don't really know how to shout this from the rooftops any louder: If this actually happens, it would spell the end of U.S. numerical weather prediction--the scientific models, run on supercomputers, used to create virtually all weather forecasts. www.axios.com/2025/0...

Genuinely what is the purpose of this? What is the upside? Was weather predicting unpopular among republicans?

Sorry but I’m with @samsteindc.bsky.social. This isn’t “in response” to the Oval meeting. They had all of this pre-planned and ready to roll out. Trump and Vance instigated the Oval confrontation to justify it.

“A person familiar with the matter… said analysts were verbally informed that they were not to follow or report on Russian threats, even though this had previously been a main focus for the agency. “The person said work that was being done on something “Russia-related” was in effect “nixed””

There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

Pretty clear. The goal here was to do a kind of ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine. They pushed Zelensky past his limit. Trump now says, in essence, you're own your own with Russia. Up to the free states of Europe now.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

If you think the lawyer who advised on some of the nation’s most sensitive special operations (including, based on publicly avail info, the cross-border raid to kill UBL) is a “roadblock,” one has to wonder what road you plan to go down.

Democratic leaders are about to learn a very real, very hard lesson about the differences between appeasement and fighting hard and "strategic silence" versus a sustained media messaging campaign. They're now going to face life-changing investigations and likely arrests.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

Patel is an unqualified extremist who probably perjured himself, receives money from Russia & China, and has made clear he will weaponize the FBI to pursue Trump's political enemies. The only Trump appointee who did not make is Gaetz, seemingly for being an insufficiently loyal Republican.

How best to poliiticize the military? Replace senior officers who are not aligned with the governing party. Neutrality isn't good enough, they must be puppets. The damage Hegseth and Trump will be doing will take generations to undo.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.
