This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

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.

For those, like my family, that still have an Amazon and Wapo subscription, I think NOW is the third best time to cancel them.

NY law firm Sullivan & Cromwell is enthusiastically joining Donald Trump's effort to undermine the justice system. It’s sad to see a firm clients have long turned to for counsel on how to comply with the law rendering itself into an instrument for promoting lawlessness, I diacuss in PN.

Feds, we chose this path to serve a greater purpose. In these times of cruelty and fear, remember: our work still matters, even when the public forgets. Every life we impact is a strike back against false kings. Stand tall, stay strong, and hold the line. We are needed, now, more than ever.

New in PN: How Marco Rubio helped bury American soft power "Rubio initially seemed a surprising choice for Trump. But tapping a mainstream Republican and former neocon as secretary of state and making him a spokesperson for his callow isolationism was Trump’s own demonstration of hard power."

Collins, Murkowski, and Tillis voting for Tulsi Gabbard just shows you how spectacularly useless all three of them are. They are too scared to stand up to Trump and Musk. Democrats should mount aggressive campaigns against all three next year.

Tom Tillis is responsible for Hegseth selling out Ukraine. He could have voted to stop him. He didn't. NC needs a new senator

Where is Ivanka? Bedminster? I think Elon took the place of Ivanka in Trump’s sphere of trust and influence. What a shame. Never thought I’d miss her.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

Any chance Bill Gates will pick up where USAID left off? I can’t stand the thought of letting kids starve, no matter where they are. And lunches should be free on every school.

At least we can look back fondly on the great accomplishments of the Democratic Party in 2024 - Hiring a fab DJ.

Science friends - please please call AAAS and any other contacts with the witnesses for tomorrow's hearing on the future of US science to demand they call out the Trump-Musk attacks on NSF, NIH, NOAA, DOE, USAID, etc. We need this on the record. #greensky #energysky

Every nominee hearing in the Senate: The Senate: Will you promise not to do cruel, crazy and illegal shit to appease the dictator in the White House? Nominee: Maybe. Not sure. Probably not. The Senate: Good enough.

I must have watched too much TV as a child - I was led to believe that when the evil technocrat broke into all our data systems and took control, that some government would protect us. Or, the entire country wouldn’t just shrug and say, oh well, he’s smart and got money. Where is Bond?
