Buried in the House’s budget reconciliation bill — now pending in the Senate — is a legislative provision that takes aim at the federal judiciary. Congress should remove it.

House Budget Bill Would Gut Federal Courts’ Ability to Enforce Orders

The legislation would make it harder for judges to hold defiant parties, including government officials, in contempt.

The woman who shouted "people will die" at Joni Ernst, India May, is a nurse and a librarian who first got involved in politics by going to a town hall about bills aiming to defund libraries. Now she's running for state house. eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

What does India May want to accomplish in the Iowa House?
May said she first got involved in Iowa politics earlier this year when she attended a town hall held by the state legislators in her area, including Thomson.

In part, May said she went to oppose a bill that would deny state funding to libraries that are members of the American Library Association and Iowa Library Association, and another that would remove an exemption in Iowa's obscenity law that shields libraries and educational institutions. Neither bill ultimately passed.

"I’m a nurse and a librarian, and I went to my first town hall this year to advocate for libraries and realized that there were a lot more pieces of legislation that were harmful on the Iowa level that I didn’t even hear about until it was too late," she said.

Rep Flood (R-NE) voted for a bill that guts the federal court's authority to enforce contempt orders. When a voter confronted him, he claimed: “I didn’t know that was on the bill.” Since when do lawyers sign without reading docs first? If that’s true, he’s incompetent. If it’s not, he’s lying.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

First, satellites do not replace radiosondes. Radiosondes are the ONLY way you can get measurements every 15’ through the atmosphere. Second, services HAVE BEEN disrupted. Missed balloon flights is a disrupted service. Offices not open 24/7 is a disrupted service.

WISN 12 News received a statement from Kim Doster, communications director from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which said:

"NOAA is deploying an all-of-the-above approach to its extensive weather data collection system, including the continued use of weather balloons alongside our robust system of cutting-edge satellite technologies to meet weather observation needs. In addition, NOAA is exploring new ways to supplement our existing data collection methods to source better and more accurate information for the American people. NOAA does not anticipate any disruptions in services as a result of staff reorganizations."
