Importantly, Saildrone vessels were being used by federal scientists to improve forecast and warning accuracy. But they won’t be this year. The company “was unable to bid” on a contract for this season. NOAA sent out its request for contract proposals too late apple.news/A_xg55kM4RzG...

EPIC response.

Bizarrely, it appears that Trump’s nominee to lead the FAA has been lying about holding a commercial pilot license www.politico.com/news/2025/06... #aviation

Feels like a uniquely American brand of stupidity to try and mobilize troops for the battle of Home Depot

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

Tucked inside the House GOP tax bill? A massive national voucher program. $5B/year in tax credits to subsidize private & religious schools—$20B over 4 years. Public money, zero oversight. A backdoor defund of public education masked as “choice.” Hands Off Public Schools

“Look, here's burial sites all over the place. These are all white farmers that are being buried,” Donald Trump said during today’s White House meeting with South Africa’s president. The image he was holding up, however, is of the Democratic Republic of Congo. www.barrons.com/news/trump-d...

The Govt has filed a Motion to Dismiss #MaryComan's MSPB constitutional claims regarding President's Article II authority to terminate employees w/o due process. This argument will be going to SCOTUS. We could use further donations to help support the effort! Please circulate!

Did you know that when your local rural hospital shuts down because of the Medicaid cuts, the 75-mile drive to the nearest one that isn't shut down is still 75 miles no matter how good your insurance is?

Imagine starting a car that hadn't run in 21 years, that's 15 billion miles away in interstellar space. That's what the NASA team just did with Voyager's thrusters. People are amazing. jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-v...

Hey NY Times-- It is still a "fringe theory" -- every court has rejected it. There is still a "broad consensus" -- John Eastman is a disgraced lawyer under indictment. The only thing that has changed is the Times.

something to be said about how these people view americans as inputs to be used up by capital

Advance Financial’s Flex Loan charges 279.5% interest, trapping thousands of borrowers in debts that end up in court, where the company has won over $200 million in judgments since 2015. By @friedmanadam5.bsky.social, w/ @tennesseelookout.com

“.. Under this deal, it will now be cheaper to import a UK vehicle with very little U.S. content than a USMCA compliant vehicle from Mexico or Canada that is half American parts.” @thehill.com @scottlincicome.bsky.social thehill.com/business/529...

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb.)

And there you have it.

Many of us are struggling with a desperate sense of urgency while it seems so many others are asleep. It was 2.5 years from the Boston Tea Party to the Declaration of Independence. We've had 3 months. That war was won because day after day, people chose to keep going Keep going friends. Goodnight💚

The usual dodge for senators asked about impeachment is "well that's up to the House, I'm not going to pre-judge because I've got to be a fair and impartial juror" blah blah blah, and Ossoff did something useful in breaking that pretense and just straight-up saying yes, as a senator, he supports it.

If members of the press are worried they didn’t give enough coverage to the cognitive decline of a sitting president, they have an amazing opportunity to make up for it right now.

Crimes against humanity! I am sickened to my core! This must be stopped!

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Insanity. Sheer insanity.

AI is killing our shared media experience, replacing the humans that make it and now it's ripe for takeover from the right. newrepublic.com/article/1935...

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.
