To recap: three GOP-led states that wanted the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade in order to "send abortion back to the states" are now asking the Court to strike down abortion protections in blue states

Wading into the "relative versus absolute" El Niño intensity debate: I genuinely think both are important--and I think we lose important information if we focus solely on one vs another. And both, as of late Sep, have now reached or exceeded record levels! [Thread]

Plot by Daniel Swain showing temporal evolution of ONI vs RONI index during 2026, representing two different ways to visualize El Nino intensity. The ONI has been at record levels since May, and the RONI has been at near-record levels since June. Data directly from NOAA.

Making abortion illegal = killing people. That’s it. It’s not more complicated than that. Making health care inaccessible means people die. States that fought the Civil War for the right to own people are now suing so they can own MORE. PEOPLE. It’s state-sanctioned murder and they are FOR it.

It's an open Q whether those favoring detruction of state capacity drink their own Kool-Aid on fiscal consolidation. For example Project 2025 argues the end of food inspections would increase food supply & lower prices. Did they believe there is no value in food safety? Or are they ghouls or both?

Last year, a pastor saw masked immigration agents arresting someone at her church and filmed them. DHS denied they were there. A year later, DHS finally acknowledged the incident — days after WH border czar Tom Homan claimed "no one has been arrested at a church." religionnews.com/2026/09/30/t...

Do federal immigration agents make arrests at churches? Depends on what day you ask.

(RNS) — Over the past year, the Trump administration has issued contradictory and, at times, seemingly false statements about whether federal agents have conducted operations at churches.
