The lack of morning weather balloons launched across the western and central U.S. is having a real, tangible impact on degrading forecast quality.
We can't look at weather balloon data that doesn't exist. We can't pump nonexistent data into models. We can't rely as heavily on models that don't "know" what's happening above our heads.
Today's severe weather forecast is less certain because we don't have weather balloon data to confirm the strength of jet stream winds aloft.
This is extremely frustrating, and is the result of logistical, organizational, political and budgetary decisions.
@HunterBiden I’m biased because I worked for your dad, but having prosecuted Purdue Pharma and seen how addiction is treated, Hunter just know how inspiring your recovery is (lifesaving, even) to people battling addiction & the stigma that goes along with it.
Thank you.
The Supreme Court is disenfranchising black voters, overturning Congressional maps chosen by voters, while handing blank checks to Republican state legislatures to gerrymander.
Reform the Supreme Court.
Science gasps for breath. They are removing all the ocean monitors to understand changes in currents and climate, and the excuse is a master class in obfuscation & double speak . (1/2) https://t.co/vs782YbcI3
It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
New: A top White House aide intervened to get a $620 million Pentagon loan for a company tied to Donald Trump Jr.
“The call came from the White House: We have to get this done,” said one person involved.

This Ebola outbreak has been a slow motion disaster - 900 cases and and now threatening the U.S..
We know how to stop outbreaks like this. But Trump chose not to stop it. He destroyed our global health team, deliberately exposing us.
1/ Here's the story of how this happened.
👋 As one of the candidates in MA-04 in 2020, I did this! And it’s a reminder why we need Ranked Choice Voting.
Not because of one race or candidate, but because no one should win an election with 23 percent of the vote.

@daveweigel Auchincloss should be a lesson to every candidate in a crowded field who can’t set aside their ego, read the tea leaves, and drop out. The Boston area should never be represented by Fox News favorite dem.
Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.
On this most sacred of holidays, when many troops woke up in harm’s way, the President is shit posting childish political attacks.
Remember: this is not normal or acceptable.
Anyway, here are stories of the 13 servicemembers killed in the Iran war: https://t.co/LszOcAaFnF
37,369 flags.
37,369 lives.
Boston Common’s Memorial Day display honors every Massachusetts service member who gave their life defending this country.
