An intro: I may be Wilmo's most glamorous voice actor. A tattooed, shark-tagging, ghost-hunting, rock-collecting, often-grilling grandma who took college courses in both meteorology & murder. I've not cut my hair since the start of the pandemic. I can get you Girl Scout cookies.
Joke of the day: Russia claims the U.S. military isn’t on its level
Defense Committee chairman Kartapolov says the U.S. lacks the “experience” of Russia’s army.
“All they can do is fly, bomb, and talk about how great they are. We solve problems differently.”
Differently — how exactly?😅
Hitler ended Germany's democracy in 53 days. This Day 53 of Trump's presidency—and he's just declared that a federal district court judge cannot issue an injunction against the White House.
It can—the Constitution says so. This is a constitutional crisis. https://t.co/uzB2JFjL0V

This is devastating news. Today's reported layoffs at the NWS will impact our ability to keep Americans safe from extreme weather. These forecasters are essential frontline workers who save lives during hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods. Cutting these meteorologists isn't just short-sighted… it's dangerous.
This updated Oklahoma SB158 is still concerning. While it claims to regulate storm tracking for safety, it's actually designed to protect traditional TV stations while excluding digital media platforms, where many Oklahomans now get their severe weather coverage. The bill ignores the reality of how people consume weather information in 2025. This isn't about safety; it's about protecting certain businesses at the expense of public access to life-saving weather information.

A reminder that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of Elon’s effort to eliminate it is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank.
@SenBillCassidy You’re a doctor who just voted for an anti-vax conspiracy theorist. You’ve made children less safe. You’ve made Americans less safe. This is your legacy.
At this very moment, disturbed, mentally and psychologically unstable men and women, some having documented close relationships with some of the most evil people on the planet, are tearing everything your uncles, grandfathers, grandmothers, sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers, cousins, nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, wives, husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, etc., defended with their service to the United States of America and their military service.
Many of them did not come home. Some came home in crates. In some cases, only parts of them came home.
They gave it all, for the very things that people like Trump, Musk, Hegseth, Vance, Tom Homan, Sean Duffy, and all of the other un-American fucks that are smiling and laughing about as they rip them to shreds.
They are wiping their ASSES on the memories and service of our loved ones, friends, and family.
I just want you to keep that in mind. Each time or otherwise discover any targeted desecration of those who have sacrificed their lives for what we've all enjoyed and, more than likely...taken for granted.
WOWOWOWOW.
The richest man in the world is shutting down the organization protecting you from being cheated by your bank or credit card company.

Raskin: This has nothing to do with evaluation, this is about termination and obliteration of the major foreign aid programs of the US, all of which together total less than $40 billion. We have a Pentagon budget of $900 billion. The Pentagon budget is where the defense contractor Elon Musk who became the richest man in the world off of our money, he collects his payments from, and now he is trying to shut down USAID. We are not going to allow this to happen. It will not stand.
