This is really stupid, and itās not getting enough attention.
The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.
And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.
Record-breaking temperatures.
A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.
The response?
Yank out the instruments and walk away.
That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.
For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a ānimbler approachā and āsmart lifecycle management,ā which is fancy nonsense for āwe shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.ā There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.
The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.
That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

Netanyahu knows Americans are sick of funding Israelās wars. So now heās working with Congress to hide military aid inside Pentagon co-production deals.
That means MORE U.S. tax dollars for Israel, with even LESS oversight.
Not gonna happen!
šØBREAKING: The American Postal Workers Union (APWU) says it is ādeeply alarmedā about the United States Postal Serviceās (USPS) new rule created to carry out President Donald Trumpās plans for restricting mail-in voting. https://t.co/ZHYGFbkSCC
FBI records obtained through a Judicial Watch lawsuit reveal that a Butler County Sheriffās deputy exchanged two emails with Trump shooter Thomas Crooks before the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt. The records remain heavily redacted, concealing the nature of the communications. The documents also reveal a SWAT officer recovered a cell phone and a remote device with an antenna from Crooks after he was killed.ļæ¼
This week, my amendment to ban billionaire-funded super PACs received unanimous support from my Democratic colleagues.
The momentum is growing. Itās time to repeal Citizens United, ban super PACs and move to the public funding of elections NOW.
The Pentagon has raised its assessment of an Israeli espionage threat against the United States to its highest level, according to US media reports citing sources.

Sore loser doing sore loser things. CA allows up to a week after election day for mail-in ballots arriveāand every voter receives a mail-in ballot so they can vote by mail like Donald Trump. There's no conspiracy.
Stop complaining about things you're too dumb to understand.
This is remarkable. Trump is giving Pulte, who lacks the statutory qualification (national security expertise) for the DNI job the position so they can manufacture another stolen election charge, or perhaps try to justify halting them altogether. Itās out in the open.
Trump promised not to ātouchā Medicaid.
Now he is cutting it by $1 trillion and taking health care away from patients with cancer, AIDS and other life-threatening diseases to pay for tax breaks to the top 1% and his wealthy campaign contributors.
Unimaginable cruelty.
California just held an election with paper ballots, signature verification, audits, bipartisan oversight, and public vote counting procedures.
You donāt get to yell āfraudā every time voters make a choice you donāt like.
Take the whiny little b*tch act somewhere else. Weāre not buying that bullshit in this state!
Californian here. You stupid MAGA dipshits. Blue represents POPULATION DENSITY.
The red represents VIRTUAL NOTHINGNESS.
Hope this helps you dumb fucks out.
This is so insanely corrupt, I canāt even believe it.
More than half the donors to Trumpās $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.
And hereās the part that should make your blood boil.
Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. Thatās not a coincidence.
The White House wonāt even release the full donor list. Theyāre hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play canāt survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.
Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.
We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

NEW: One day after Trump baselessly accused California Democrats of trying to "steal" the state's gubernatorial primary, the DOJ said its pursuing election fraud probes in the state.
The development comes amid the state's delayed primary count, which are a normal part of the verification process. https://t.co/Yj4YIzMcjx

šØ EXCLUSIVE: Judge J. Michael Luttig tells MeidasTouch:
"The tectonic plates of American politics have at last shifted ā seemingly suddenly and overnight. But these plates of Americaās politics have actually been shifting inexorably and indectable every single day for the past 18 months.
There is no mistaking that the Federal Judiciary ā the federal courts of the United States ā have brought about this inevitable end to this presidentās war on the Federal Judiciary, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law in America ā and with it the effective end to this presidency."
