🚨 BILLIONS RESTORED. The regime tried to use an illegal memo to erase a $2.8B pollution and flood protection fund. Federal Judge Gergel just completely crushed the move, ruling the President cannot ignore Congress. Read the details: 👇 https://t.co/OL1hX4buYA

#Ocean
"Supreme stupidity" is no exaggeration:

Destroying the Ocean Observatories Initiative would be a momentous act of harm to US interests.

Senators are now fighting back, and have written to the NSF to reverse course on its plan.

In their letter, the senators cited the approaching El Niño – a periodic Pacific warming that disrupts weather patterns and supercharges marine heat waves – as evidence the cuts are particularly ill-timed.

“The loss of this deep-water observation system would threaten our ability to prepare for and monitor future El Niño events,” they wrote, warning coastal communities, fishermen and emergency responders would be left without crucial information.

“In a time of strained resources, the NSF is wasting time and money to destroy its own scientific infrastructure.”

My team of marine scientists use data from the OOI regularly and it is complete nonsense to suggest that there is any other system in place which can match its capabilities.

BREAKING: A shocking new Guardian investigation discovers that Trump and Hegseth murdered EIGHT CHILDREN and four adults, including a pregnant woman, in an airstrike on a school and homes in Somalia…and NEVER told the public!

What ELSE aren’t they telling us?

Shortly after 9am on 15 November 2025, the town of Jamaame in south Somalia was pummeled with a series of explosions. Missiles, almost certainly fired from American MQ-9 Reaper drones, destroyed a school and several homes.

“All my children were lying on the ground covered in blood. When I tried to tend to them, shells began falling everywhere. Every direction you turned, there were shells and missiles raining everywhere,” said Marian Haji Abdi Guled.

A farmer, Abdullahi Mohamed Abo Sheikh Ali, returned home in shock to find his children murdered. His grandfather recounted to the Guardian how “clothes and books were scattered on the ground, but I couldn’t focus on them. I was in shock, standing before the bodies of my grandchildren. They were ripped to pieces.”

Mohamed is tortured by the memory of having to find the pieces of his torn-apart grandchildren. They were too slippery, he says, and kept sliding from his grasp. “There was no place to grip because they were ripped to pieces.”

“The Americans bombed us,” said Abdullahi. “Children, women and elders were bombed. They spared nothing.”

The strike killed Abullahi's heavily pregnant daughter-in-law Safiyo Hassan Abukar, her ten-year-old daughter Abdifatah, seven-year-old Abdinasir, six-year-old Hussein, and four-year-old Abdurahman.

Mohamed Hassan Abdulle found his home flattened and the mangled bodies of his 26-year-old wife, Farhiyo Hassan Nuur, and daughter, 10-month-old Layla Mohamed Hassan.

He stood beside his destroyed home, the entire neighbourhood ablaze. “I couldn’t even find anyone to help carry the bodies of my wife and daughter,” he says.

Gedow Ibrahim received a call from his wife, terrified about the circling drones. He raced home. His daughters, Maryan, nine, and Farhiyo, seven, were dead.

“I saw the lifeless bodies of my children. One of them had their left arm torn off. The other one had shrapnel in their back, which came out of their chest.”

Mohamed says at least 18 homes were destroyed. The school was reduced to a shell. Guled counted nine strikes in the Burburka neighbourhood alone.

Locals say that the al-Shabaab terror group has no presence in the town, which raises huge questions about why and how this quiet village of livestock herders was selected to be massacred, why the presence of children playing in the street didn’t deter the strikes, or why they kept firing after the first homes were hit.

The Trump administration has refused to comment on anything. When the White House was approached for a response to the Jamaame strikes, the deputy press secretary Anna Kelly asked if the Guardian would also focus on “fraud committed by Somalis in the United States?”

Between these strikes in Somalia and the massacre of sailors in the Caribbean, it is clear that the Trump administration is simply killing for the sake of killing.

This is the consequence of building the world’s most sophisticated murder machine – the people in charge of pressing the buttons won’t always be responsible or empathetic.

Sometimes, they will be murderous, racist psychopaths like Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.

They must be held accountable after all this is over. These crimes are beyond horrific.

#BREAKING: Hayes: What is the intention of this USPS proposal? 

Secretary Griswold: “The intention, I believe, is to SUPPRESS THE VOTE. It’s to allow Trump to try to federalize elections, to put his thumb on who gets a ballot and who doesn’t get a ballot…Trump has been going after voter data on American voters since the beginning of his first term. The DOJ…last year started to request this data…I told them to take a hike, suddenly they are suing us. Then Trump tried to push Congress to pass a voter suppression bill to collect all this data. That went nowhere. Then he issues his second unconstitutional executive order on elections, specifically on mail ballots. It directs DHS to pull together a list of who’s eligible and who’s not…and then states would have to send USPS our list of approved voters. And on top of that, the DOJ is in the background directed through Trumps executive order to investigate any election official who takes part in supposedly sending a ballot to someone not on Trump’s voter list. The whole thing is unconstitutional. It’s one more way that Trump is trying to put his finger on this elections. We are going to fight back. Colorado and many states are fighting back already and I look forward for the executive order and this bogus rule-making to be stopped.” 😳

What can we do with $750 billion instead of funding unnecessary wars? Fund high speed rail, cancel out American’s medical debt, finance education programs, and fully fund SNAP. I’m introducing the Slash the Pentagon Act to cap Trump’s bloated Pentagon budget.

THE INSANELY RIGGED ECONOMY

Yesterday, while tens of millions of families were struggling to pay for rent, food, healthcare, childcare and gas, seven of Trump's oligarchic friends became $210 billion richer. Not last week. Not over the past decade. In less than 24 hours, these 7 men, the wealthiest people on earth, became $210 billion richer.

Incredibly, since Trump was elected on November 5, 2024, these 7 men, all Big Tech Oligarchs, have become more than $1.5 trillion richer and are now collectively worth over $2.8 trillion. Meanwhile, we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any other wealthy nation, young adults have a lower standard of living than their parents and over 20% of our seniors are trying to survive on an annual income of $15,000 a year or less.

Yes. We are living in an oligarchy.

A Good Day for Trump’s Friends:

Yesterday, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, got $164.8 billion richer and is now worth $1.4 trillion. He’s worth $1.1 trillion more than on Election Day.

Yesterday, Larry Page, the second wealthiest man in the world, gained $7.61 billion in wealth and is now worth $314 billion. He’s worth $161 billion more than on Election Day.

Yesterday, Sergey Brin, the third richest man in the world, got $7.01 billion richer and is now worth $292 billion. He’s worth $148 billion more than on Election Day.

Yesterday, Jeff Bezos, the fourth richest man in the world, gained $6.96 billion in wealth and is now worth $267 billion. He’s worth $46 billion more than on Election Day.

Yesterday, Larry Ellison, the fifth wealthiest man in the world, gained $8.92 billion in wealth and is now worth $247 billion. He’s worth $63 billion more than on Election Day.

Yesterday, Michael Dell, the sixth richest man in the world, got $5.86 billion richer and is now worth $218 billion. He’s worth $101 billion more than on Election Day.

Yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg, the seventh richest man in the world, gained $9.16 billion in wealth and is now worth $211 billion. He’s worth $8 billion more than on Election Day.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best: “Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all of God’s children.”
