New weather forecasting approach since Trump is killing NOAA

Trump and Musk are cutting 80,000 jobs from the VA, including suicide and crisis help. Our veterans answered the call, but now nobody will answer theirs.

Trump: Welcome to my Imperialism Era

So I guess the next brilliant Art of the Deal move from the guy who bankrupted casinos is to give Europe as many reasons as possible not to buy weapons systems from US companies right after the EU announced an intent to spent nearly a trillion more on defense.

The Heritage Foundation is now planning to destroy the EU - with the help of Polish and Hungarian partners vsquare.org/heritage-fou...

1. EXCLUSIVE The Veterans Administration is requiring therapists to return to the office full time, but does not have enough space for them As a result, they are forced to provide mental health counseling to veterans in open cubicles It is an unethical and likely illegal practice

This affidavit, filed by a former Social Security employee in one of the DOGE cases, reveals a shocking exposure of personal info to DOGE operatives & possible compromise of parts of the system. Everyone should read this. Start at para 9. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Board member of Meta hugs it out with Andrew Tate, well known heinous person www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Exclusive: Meta went to extreme lengths, including developing a censorship system, in a failed attempt to bring Facebook to millions of internet users in China, according to a whistleblower complaint.

Trump wants to control all federal firing & hiring. He wants to be able to reduce & refill the ranks of career fed'l employees. It's soft coup (non-military) happening before our eyes, but too many people aren't paying attention. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/humphreys-...

“Scientists are already considering moving trials to other institutions, which will mean veterans are no longer first in line for participation, and could cause millions of dollars in research funds to go to waste…” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/u...

Moore: Telling people who have worn the uniform of this country, who have been willing to pay the highest price to be called American—and now looking at the service.. and saying that maybe they’re not fit to serve—hearing that come from somebody who was never willing to take that oath is very rich..

The ability to control mass party opinion this directly is unlike anything I’ve really seen in my time covering politics.

The Trump administration is considering tearing up border, trade and military treaties with Canada www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/w...

Americans (myself included) tend to laugh off the Trump noises about annexing Canada as obvious nonsense, but the rest of the world is taking the threat seriously. Our media should reflect that reality and hold him accountable for the serious damage he’s causing.

Not a close student of Ukrainian presidential politics, but I imagine the only endorsement less coveted than one from Trump is one from Putin himself. www.politico.eu/article/dona...

In the Trump administration's latest move to take their toys and go home to sulk: the US has cut off intelligence-sharing with Kyiv, said CIA Director on Wednesday, in a move that could seriously hamper the Ukrainian military's ability to target Russian forces. www.reuters.com/world/us-cut...

Yes, Trump just rescued the Russian economy

“Thank you again. Thank you again. Won’t forget it,” Trump says while shaking the hand of Supreme Court Justice John Roberts after the State of the Union.

French polling on Ukraine

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

😂

Skillful defense of the first targets of autocratic takeovers is necessary to prevent them from going after more Americans. Your support here would make a difference.

Another day, another hit. Can’t wait to see the retention and recruitment rates over the next couple years. #makedraftsnecessaryagain

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

KEILAR: Can you guarantee that veterans benefits and care will not be affected by these cuts? REP. GREG MURPHY: No, I can't guarantee anything

US assistance to Ukraine since 2022 totals about $120 bn. bbc.com/news/article... That's almost exactly the same amount as the crypto reserve enthusiasts want the US taxpayer to spend on the Trump crypto bailout. www.lummis.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

I guess Florida will just be “knocking on wood” again. And you thought our property insurance rates were high now.

Kinda important.

Everything is an enormous scandal. There are several tonight alone. No exaggeration.

The FAA has agreed to use SpaceX's Starlink internet system to upgrade the IT networks it uses to manage US airspace, raising new concerns about conflicts of interest for CEO Elon Musk in one of his other roles, that of recommending funding cuts at federal agencies, including the FAA. cnn.it/436qirE

“The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy.”
