"I repeatedly warned that this kind of rhetoric is not harmless. It dehumanizes people. It turns neighbors into threats. It creates permission structures for hatred. I know this because I’ve seen where it can lead." - the main MO of this Administration is DIVION amongst the people. This is right out of the Authoritarian playbook.

Always a great Saturday morning read out here in Las Vegas. YOU are a TRUE patriot

"Scientists are warning that the Trump administration’s plan to significantly reduce a major ocean monitoring system could weaken weather forecasting, storm prediction, climate monitoring, and early warning systems used around the world. The network helps track ocean temperatures, currents, marine heatwaves, and the conditions that influence hurricanes, cyclones, and El Niño events. In other words, it helps us see what’s coming."

I am glad you pointed this out as the headlines from the evil empire do not embrace the invaluable information obtained as it relates to SST, El Nino, and Climate. Of course, as deniers what would you expect. As a duel degreed meteorologist, I find it heinous that (1) The above is being done and (2) the introduction of the use of coal, with evil persons like Lee Zeldin, master bootlicker looking to destroy the Agency and Chris "Solar does not work at night and in winter" Wright. Scary to know the latter is in charge of the USNRC

There is no limit as to how low this Administration will go. People still can’t afford food and gas, the Epstein files remain under lock & key, immigrants who are here legally are still being detained, and there is the very real possibility that our midterms will not be free and fair. Will there ever be a reckoning?

My brain was definitely in explode mode this past week. As always, thank you for untangling the mess for us. However I am also grateful for being educated about all the important things in the background keeping us safe and informed. Can’t explain why, but when I visualized that little buoy in the ocean, I got all teary! I want all those things to work for us all! (the socks on the donkey also made me verklempt!) have a great party! I, the bookwormy musician will be ready for some soccer!!

Nothing this week is more disturbing than Bill Pulte.

From what I’ve read he’s not only deeply unqualified and out of his league, he’s immature to a laughable extent. Like a 6th grader who puts tacks on girls’ chairs. Literally, everyone seems to hate him

Supposedly** , Susie Eichmann Wiles is threatening to quit over his appointment. Supposedly**.

This is the woman who’s spent the last 18 months acting like a turnstile so the worst ppl alive can whisper in her boss’s ear, enabling the destruction and raping of our country. SHE thinks Bill Pulte is a bridge too far?

If there were trains and boxcars needed to haul ppl of color away to detention camps, she’d be the one making sure they’d be available and running on time. America’s Eichmann.

** COMMUNITY NOTE: She won’t leave.

She’s addicted to power and being part of the action, just like the fat white stooges surrounding her

You warm my soul! Thank you for those reports. Stopping early warning systems as you point out, is more costly than keeping them in place. Just like stopping preventative health care. That is a strain on our system when people need to have treatment for preventable problems! Trump and his people dont ever look at the outcome of there rash decisions.

Such heinous crap coming from the Trump regime. Bill Pulte, the idiot nobody likes. Disabling open ocean buoys? Hey idiots, weather affects EVERYONE. It's especially important to farmers and fishermen. You know, the people who supply us with food. We need to be rid of these people.

Thank you for what you do. This week's inclusion of the socks benefiting horses and donkeys made me smile and these days anything that garners a smile is greatly appreciated!

"There’s just one problem. Pulte has no intelligence or national security experience. Trump defended the appointment by saying Pulte is “less shackled.” That’s not usually the quality we look for in intelligence oversight." this has to hit close to you and every American. Out here in LV we have a AAA ballpark in Summerlin. Beautiful field. But beyond the outfield fence there is advertising and one of them is, "Pulte Homes", which makes me sick every time I see it. Now this sycophant has taken over for the "Bride of Frankenstein"? Let that sink in
