This is really stupid, and it’s 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 “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” 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.

BREAKING:

Israel is dropping white phosphorus bombs on civilian areas in the village of Arnoun, Nabatieh, South Lebanon.

These are internationally banned munitions — and Israel is unleashing them against civilians.

Nothing to see here, just Israel live streaming its war crimes.

The Trump FDA story is crazy

Big Tobacco donated $5,000,000 to Trump's super PAC

Two days later, Reynolds American's executives met with Trump at his Florida golf club to demand the FDA reverse its flavored vape ban

Trump then personally called RFK Jr. and his health secretary to complain about the ban

Then questioned the FDA commissioner directly for not moving fast enough

The FDA commissioner who said no resigned days later and so did RFK Jr.'s chief spokesperson, citing the vape policy as the reason

Then the ban was lifted within a week

The White House says it had nothing to do with the $5,000,000

does nobody else find “the director of the fbi’s apparel website” a fucking insane statement

He won every swing state then bragged about it.

Nobody has done that, and it was statistically impossible, plus the down ballot on all those states were democratic.

Mossad booby‑trapped 21,000 communication devices with explosives, sent them to Lebanon through shell companies, and detonated them remotely — killing dozens (including children) and injuring over 3,400.

• The devices exploded in people's hands, on their faces, and in their pockets.

• They did it over two consecutive days.

• On day two, the explosives went off while Lebanese families were at the funerals of those killed the day before.

• The attack inflicted roughly 3,000 injuries in a single hour on the first day alone.

This terrorist attack was the largest simultaneous mass‑detonation in history by the number of individual bombs.

'israelis' joke about it to this day.

If you didn't boycott Apple for the Congo, boycott it now.

🚨do you understand what just happened..

Trump sued his own IRS for $10 billion over leaked tax returns.. then settled with his own DOJ.. and the settlement created a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded fund to compensate his political allies

the president filed the lawsuit.. the president's DOJ settled it.. the president's allies collect the money.. and you're paying for it

the fund covers Jan 6th defendants.. Mar-a-Lago raid claims.. the Russia investigation.. anyone who says they were a victim of "lawfare" can file a claim and get a check

they named it the "Anti-Weaponization Fund".. and made the number $1.776 billion.. they even made the corruption patriotic

in 1974 Nixon resigned for using government agencies against political enemies.. in 2026 the government is cutting checks to political allies and calling it justice

🚨 Florida is now shutting down its ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ ICE detention center.

Estimates suggest over $1 billion dollars was wasted on the complex.

A Palestinian farmer working his field in the occupied West Bank refused to leave for an armed Israeli settler.

So the settler took him hostage, blindfolded and humiliated him while IDF soldiers stood guard protecting the abuser.

This is crazy. 60 days for sexual abuse of a 6-9 year old. Pedophilia has basically become legal of you are a Republican.

They didn't carry weapons; they carried memories and a simple dream of going home.

MAGA Influencer Craig Long was arrested in a Human trafficking sting operation that Chris Hansen was apart of. This is like the third sting in a month that that a MAGA Trumo supporter has been arrested including ICE agents.
