All but 3 of the Top 20 Largest #Wildfires have occurred since 2000, with 3 of these large & damaging wildfires occurring just this year. As we enter fall, which is known to have the largest & most destructive wildfires, we want to remind you that now is the time to be prepared.

When birds first appeared, they couldn't taste sugar. Some ancient Australian birds evolved that ability by repurposing a sensor for umami into one for sweetness. And they gave rise to the entire songbird dynasty--half the world's species.

@nathjohn101 The tweets are a way to distract and whip the base, as usual. Would worry much more about the people he's removing right now and why, and blocking the transition (security briefings) - remember he never committed to a peaceful transfer of power

It is DRY out West right now.

This map shows the Evaporative Demand Drought Index, an experimental @NOAA_ESRL tool that shows how "thirsty" the atmosphere is - i.e. how much moisture it's sucking out of soils and vegetation. This info is key for drought and fire weather risk.

As a consumer protection attorney who fought big banks, I know to read the fine print—so that’s what I did when the President said he was invoking the Defense Production Act. Turns out the Administration never finalized the rules for ordering emergency medical supplies. (1/2)

@SpeakerPelosi You must not rush this, and you must draw up all possible articles of impeachment. Make every Senator take a position on each of his corrupt dealings.

@janerrigby @KarinaVoggel Right now you're not working, so it seems you should be able to do whatever you like on your own time. What can they do?
