The process : 1) tell a lie; 2) RW media broadcasts the lie; 3) the lie is exposed as a lie; 4) RW media never broadcasts that the lie was exposed; 5) RW media viewers continue to believe the lie; 6) repeat endlessly. This needs to stop.

Committee members should be required to take the oath before these hearings so that anything they say, like Schmitt’s text bullshit, can be held against them. Had Smith held that poster up as a “fact”, he would have perjured himself for false testimony. Senators should be held to the same standard.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin: "The only way you can take a republic country like the United States and turn it into a communist country is by causing chaos on purpose and then saying, 'hey look, government is a mess. You need us, the communist country, to rule you.' It's insane."

There are priorities, and then there are *PRIORITIES*. This current regime is actively destroying our own country AND much of the rest of the world. We need to fix that first. We can't do anything for anyone else if we are this broken.

Trump is looking to turn the US into a gas station. Same as Russia. Without understanding that the rest of the world is moving past oil. Typical backwards thinking from the conservative MAGtards. Owned and operated by the oil industry.

Insofar as US swing voters think the Democrats are "out of step" with them on climate change, the vast majority say that is because Democrats are "not fighting hard enough/need to do more." Yes, really. 5/n

New and timely research on tropical cyclone-associated extreme precipitation in California (yes, you read that right!) in a warming climate. While such events remain uncommon, a large increase in likelihood of such events is projected with ocean warming.

Remember that scene in the Wizard of Oz when Dorothy and her allies finally make it to see the wizard, and he bellows and threatens with loudness and grandiosity, until Toto peels back the curtain and all see he is false, small, and fake? This, IMO, is what's happened in Iran.

As a California native I have a bad feeling about this. With all of that latent energy in the pacific and an El Niño capable of directing a sustained jet at us we may be in for a very rough ride next winter. The question at my elevation of 6100’ is whether it will be rain or snow.

I've got to say that I'm really disappointed in the recent discourse surrounding the RCP8.5 scenario. The lack of context and understanding is something I expected from the usual suspects, but it's frustrating to see such bad takes from people and outlets who should know better.

We just had our warmest February AND winter on record, we broke the record high temp ever recorded in OK during March last week with 106 at Beaver, so how about warmest March statewide as well. That 60.2 will go higher after today, too. ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet
Bar chart titled “Oklahoma’s Warmest Marches on Record (1895–2026)” showing the top five warmest March average temperatures. March 2026 ranks warmest at 60.2°F (through March 30), followed by 2012 at 59.6°F, 1907 and 1910 tied at 59.0°F, and 2007 at 58.3°F.
