The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.

Fox’s chief national security correspondent fact-checks Trump as he again tells the lie about “turning on the water” in California The water release alarmed local farmers and had no way of getting to SoCal. A total fabrication. There is no bottom.

Like every other basic morbid dumbass, I like cemeteries. I think they can be beautiful and poignant and anthropologically fascinating. But allow me to introduce you a hyper-specific subset of graves I enjoy: "showmen's rest" sites.

Why are we not seeing dozens and dozens of "news analysis" pieces exploring whether Trump's appalling threat to abandon NATO countries to Russian aggression will hurt him politically?

The point here isn't just that they manufactured a national controversy from basically nothing; they did so at the service of a legal strategy aimed squarely at writing trans people out of the law altogether
