[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Trump is dismantling a $368 million ocean monitoring system that took a decade to build and was designed to run for 25 years.

When we need answers about our oceans and our climate, this network is where we get them.

More than 900 instruments sitting thousands of feet beneath the Pacific and Atlantic are the reason we can predict coastal flooding, protect our fisheries, and track how a warming ocean is changing our climate.

It’s also our eyes on a major Atlantic current that scientists fear is weakening. If that current collapses, it triggers catastrophic weather changes across the entire Northern Hemisphere.

There is no plan to store the equipment, there is no plan to replace the data, and the scientists who spent years learning how to operate it say that expertise cannot simply be passed on to the next person.

This Administration is not just cutting a program. It is making us permanently blind to threats we cannot afford to miss.

So all of you guys who were in my comments last month talking about how food assistance should not include candy and soda but actual healthy foods, I suppose you’re going to call your members of Congress and the White House about this?

I'm a grizzly.

They just decided one acre is all I need.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just redefined "secure habitat" for grizzly bears in Montana.

The science said 2,500 acres minimum.

They changed it to one.

No public input. No new science. Just a rewrite.

And it wasn't random. The change conveniently cleared the way for a 17,700-acre logging project cutting straight through the corridor grizzlies use to travel between two of their last strongholds in North America.

A former Forest Service wildlife biologist said it plainly: "A one-acre island of forest surrounded by roads isn't secure habitat. It's a death trap."

Courts already rejected this same playbook when agencies tried 10-acre patches near Yellowstone. They lost. Then they came back with one acre.

Who's going to tell the grizzly it only gets one acre?

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

@SpotitlsuJordan @CBSNews Oh, there's a twist

[Yankees Pirate @GL2411]

@WhiteHouse Maybe they're too weak from the screwworm infestation.

@atrupar He's a piece of shit, but he's not wrong about this. New York has been waiting 53 years for a title. Supply and demand.

It's just too bad they're wasting a seat on that prick.

@HQNewsNow Incidentally, eat shit Oklahoma.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

These are all programs that Trump has cut funding for and I’m curious where all this money went! Why aren’t we asking questions. Why isn’t Congress asking questions! 🤬

[Yankees Pirate @GL2411]

@CommentNoob @MeriwetherFarms That I appreciate when people can admit to a fact, even when it doesn't align with their politics.

In Denmark, McDonalds workers make $25 an hour and, if they are over twenty, the company starts paying into a pension plan for them, and in addition they have a full 6 weeks of paid vacation.

Now how much do you think this costs customers? The Economist looked into this and found out that the Big Mac costs 76 cents less than it does here.

Don't believe the lies that raising the minimum wage would force prices to go up.
