You can't solve problems you refuse to measure.
Yet this month, 900 ocean monitoring instruments are being physically pulled out of the water. A $368 million system. A decade to build. Designed to run 15 more years.
Gone.
This network tracked hurricane intensity, coastal flooding, marine heatwaves, and sea level rise. The data was free, public and used in over 500 scientific publications. Congress tried to stop it... twice. They got overruled anyway.
For a coastal community like FL-13 that just lived through Helene, this isn't abstract. This is the difference between an evacuation order that comes in time and one that doesn't.
Florida deserves a representative who fights for the science that protects us, not one who looks the other way while it gets dismantled.

Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. https://t.co/2zX5bHdhsa
Reflecting on the past, ready for the future ✨
@NASARoman engineers took one last look at the telescope's primary mirror, ensuring the observatory is ready to explore the universe.
Next up? Packing Roman up and shipping to @NASAKennedy for launch!

As a meteorologist, I can say without hesitation that discontinuing this dataset would be another significant blow to my science, just like the cuts to the NWS that have caused adverse impacts to the radiosonde (weather balloon) network.
The Trump administration has announced it will dismantle a $368 million deep-ocean monitoring system that provides critical data on the world’s oceans. The decision is sparking alarm among experts that US is taking eyes off the oceans at a dangerous time. https://t.co/VcifYxiYcR
Our @NASARoman space telescope is officially slated to launch on Aug. 30!

Pay attention.
Late last night the Trump-packed Supreme Court issued an UNSIGNED order to help Republicans erase Black voters and keep a congressional seat.
The Court's legitimacy is earned and they are burning it to the ground.
MAGA is rigging our democracy in real time!

SCOOP: Trump officials are diverting roughly $90 million in national parks entry fees to pay for the president’s July 4th plans, including a massive fireworks display. By @jakespring@ddiamond and @NaemaAhmed https://t.co/Oy1OqmYdZO
WAKE UP, AMERICA.
The Supreme Court majority just admitted it’s a PARTISAN operator willing to TORCH the rule of law to advance its ideological agenda.
In an unprecedented move with a brief UNSIGNED order, it: 1) IGNORED the central basis of the lower court’s decision, 2) DISREGARDED its own precedent (that it had assured just weeks ago remained good law), and 3) REWARDED Alabama's defiance of a federal court order.
All to help Republicans squeeze out one more seat in the midterms. And on Election Day for millions of Americans no less!
This is sick.
“Power, not reason, is the new currency of this Court's decisionmaking.” — Thurgood Marshall
SCOTUS greenlights Alabama map abolishing a second Black-majority district despite lower court ruling—including two Trump judges—that it intentionally diluted Black voting power.
This Court has broken our democracy.
