NEW: Mass layoffs began today at NOAA. Workers were fired by email at the agency which runs the National Weather Service, National Hurricane Centre & Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre. Services are already shutting down. The most dangerous regime in the world for US citizens is now their own.

I'm begging Eric Adams to resign before Hochul has to do something crazy. But, since Adams will never put anyone's interests ahead of his own, I'm also begging New Yorkers to turn up the heat on Trump's new acquisition in Manhattan. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

A series of storms will likely cause some flooding between West Virginia and Louisiana over the next 7 to 10 days. Southern California has some flooding and debris flow concerns too. Details on an active weather pattern today.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Brian Krebs confirmed what I suspected. Like most people who worked for Path Network, Edward Coristine came from the cybercrime community, and was active as recently as May 2024 krebsonsecurity.com/2025/02/teen...

There's interest in this again, so I'm sharing @eff.org's complete publicly available and open source map of border surveillance infrastructure so people can see the constant surveillance border communities are under as well as the money and resources put to the great nationalist boondoggle.

It's literally impossible to run the National Weather Service without talking to foreign partners. For example, the National Hurricane Center in Miami shares data with other nations in the Caribbean constantly to forecast storms. Everyone benefits. Weather doesn't stop at the borders.

NEW from me: Why has Patrick Soon-Shiong touted RFK Jr repeatedly and run interference for him at his paper, the LA Times? Maybe because his biotech company has 3 applications pending at the FDA, whose parent agency Kennedy is about to be running. prospect.org/power/2025-0...

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

The new general counsel for OPM—the office issuing all those deranged memos—is Andrew Kloster, a self-described “raging misogynist” with a public history of racist comments and a temporary restraining order for domestic violence who most recently worked for Matt Gaetz. www.pogo.org/investigatio...
