In 2025 I lost 4 close family - including my husband. Despite the grief and trauma and life flip, in the last week I sold our big unmanageable house, settled all finances, and moved into a small home of my dreams on the Oregon coast with a garden. And, my daughter got engaged. Hope has returned.

The satellite that watches the eastern United States for storms went blind for 20 hours in July. NOAA cannot yet say why. Its backup sits weeks away from taking over. This is what a warning system looks like after the people who ran it were cut and its research arm marked for the axe.

Welp, the Streisand effect is in full swing now. I likely would not have read the full article with as much interest. Congratulations on the great reporting.

The good part of this time around is the total lack of competency. The bad part is the deep incompetency of the entire administration.

Why is Trump so enthusiastic about destroying Iranian civilian infrastructure? It won’t win the war. It is likely for another reason: to provoke an Iranian response that Trump can use for his own purposes. (2/17)
