I don't know which is scarier. What Trump will do if he maintains control of Congress Or What Trump will do if he loses control of Congress.

I think a lot of people aren't ready for how dangerous, aggressive, erratic and weird the Trump admin is going to become after the U.S. midterms.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Just a couple hundred miles from Mexico's southwestern coast, Hurricane Polo strengthens even further. Polo has recently recorded a central pressure of 892 millibars, making it the second most-intense Eastern Pacific hurricane on record, behind 2015's Hurricane Patricia.

Classic example of #climatology vs. #meteorology. Today - September 10 - is the climatological peak of the Atlantic #hurricane season. Starkly contrasted by today's NHC Atlantic basin tropical cyclone outlook:

1/4 From Reuters: HHS Sec. Kennedy asked CDC Director Erica Schwartz to remove two Pennsylvania measles deaths from CDC’s tally. CDC staff had already accepted the state’s classification. Schwartz implemented Kennedy’s directive, without objection... That is deeply disturbing.

Well this is discouraging. The U.S. GFS atmospheric computer model was worse than the European, Canadian, and U.K. models for most of the past month or so. With a couple of "ties" with the lowly FNMOC model. #weather #meteorology #NWP

Consider this: If Einstein were alive today, he would be rejected by Donald Trump and MAGA, just as they have rejected Fauci, and all the great scientists of our time (most especially climate scientists). Science is just a method to pursue our understanding of nature. It shouldn't be political.

The Fauci hearing perfectly illustrated how living through a once in a century pandemic somehow made Republicans far worse on public health. God forbid we face anything like covid again during Trump 2.0. There will be no Dr Fauci around to try to talk sense to Trump.

Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?
As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns
While broadcasters typically air a prime-time address by the president, they determined that this speech was more ‘political’ than newsworthy for live coverage

For folks asking why bother commenting because the OMB won't care: comments help build cases for the courts by explicitly laying out harms. That's why it's really important to have your comments be as specific as possible. Also, contact your senators and reps! They actually do care about this.

The July update of the NMME ensemble shows a peak ensemble mean value of the Relative Oceanic Niño Index (RONI) of +2.62°C this winter. That would be a new record-strong #ElNiño... the previous strongest was +2.42°C, in the winter of 1982-83.
