A remarkable view of Central U.S. storm. A "bomb cyclone" (rapidly strengthening low pressure system) is generating widespread extreme winds (gusts to 70-80+ mph), widespread dust storms, dozens of fast-spreading wildfires, & (soon) a major tornado outbreak. #OKwx #TXwx

I just spoke with an attorney who works with the NOAA, and there is a valid path to shut down what's happening. The agencies are compromised, the IGs are fired, etc. We need a state AG (she said NY would be best) to file a lawsuit seeking an injunction using state and federal cybersecurity laws.

I cannot emphasize enough that if they dismantle federal hazard agencies, warning systems, and emergency management disaster death tolls will increase. We can very easily lose the ground we have spent decades gaining.

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable.

One impact of the NSF freeze: They fund the small nonprofit, EarthScope, that manages seismic and GPS stations used worldwide to detect and warn of earthquakes and navigate autonomous vehicles. EarthScope can maybe make payroll this week. A prolonged freeze could see stations fail.

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.

When I say that eliminating FEMA could threaten our ~National~ Security this is a good scenario to think of... In FEMA’s best case scenarios tens of thousands die, without federal coordination… idk, man. The governors are not managing Cascadia. Please be serious.

As journalists we have to walk a fine line, and sensitive stories often need to pass internal legal reviews before publication. I like how Wired handled this — the headline doesn’t mince words and actually shows you how Musk’s salute is being received by Nazis www.wired.com/story/neo-na...
