Yesterday I told you the government is pulling 900 ocean monitoring instruments out of the water.

Here is the part that should make every American angry, regardless of where you stand on climate.

Congress voted to fund this network. Not once. Twice. The Trump administration proposed cutting it by 80 percent in 2025. Congress restored the money. Proposed the same cut in 2026. Congress restored the money again.

So the administration labeled it a "descope" and ordered the instruments pulled anyway.

That is not a budget disagreement. That is an executive branch telling the legislative branch that its votes do not matter. The public paid for this infrastructure. Congress protected it. One office in Washington decided the public should not have it.

This is the pattern I document in 𝑾𝒆 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒅 𝑮𝒖𝒚𝒔. It is not about left or right. It is about who decides what Americans are allowed to know about their own planet.

Who should make that call?

Great work by Trump here.

Acting AG Todd Blanche sat with Sean Hannity for an hour and a half interview and they spent so much of it talking about uncharged people who are targets of President Trump that the video ends with this notable disclaimer -->

He said he's getting rid of DEI to hire people based on merit then hired a guy who built houses to serve as the leader of the US intelligence community.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

The Trump administration is sending ships to rip 900 ocean sensors out of the Atlantic and Pacific — and Congress already told them twice they couldn't do it.**
They're doing it anyway.

And then they expire for everyone except corporations and the top 1% just after the midterms.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Literally the only explanation for why Trump would install Pulte in this position is to have him use the resources and authorities of the US intelligence community against his political enemies. Democrats should fight this tooth and nail starting with Section 702 reauthorization

Idiotic hell society racing towards the cliff’s edge

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

The working class is just cannon fodder for capitalism, and nothing will ever change until we put the prosperity of the many over the greed and corruption of a mega-wealthy few.

This isn’t a Right vs Left issue.
It’s a handful of oligarchs vs the rest of us issue.

[Protect Our Care @ProtectOurCare]

John Oliver: The hypocrisy here is just so flagrant. Just last week, administration officials triumphantly announced indictments as part of their ongoing crackdown on health care fraud. But, as reporters quickly pointed out, some of those fraud cases seem strikingly similar to those for which Trump has granted clemency, when people have had connections to him.

Friendly reminder

Instead of governments
creating Digital IDs
to track citizens…

Maybe citizens
should have Digital IDs
for politicians.

Track who they meet with.
Track who lobbies them.
Track where our tax dollars go.

They work for us.
Not the other way around.

In the US, spending on data center construction now exceeds spending on public transportation infrastructure — including airports, marine terminals, and all mass transit.

"Being MAGA isn't just about being Stupid. It's about showing the World how proud you are to be Stupid."

Truer words have never been spoken.

It doesn’t matter if Palantir eliminates all crime.

We don’t want to live in a dystopian surveillance state.

When Patrick Henry said ‘Give me liberty or give me death,’ he wasn’t just talking about the British.

He was talking about all tyrants. Foreign or domestic.
