On this day in 2009, at the crack of dawn, more than 400 insurgents attacked the 53 US servicemembers at the remote Combat Outpost Keating in Afghanistan. The COP was at the bottom of three steep mountains just a few miles from the border with Pakistan. 1/
The cost of driving will keep going up thanks to this #rollback. #Gas is $4.50 a gallon thanks to the #IranWar. But now our cars will be less fuel efficient and more polluting too by the way. This rule is not about cars but about how much gas they need. And the American consumer will continue to be stuck with gas guzzling cars thanks to the Trump Administration. The oil and gas companies just keep winning. The American consumer living on a tight budget is losing ground again! https://t.co/3oJAdxyKVU

UFC Freedom 250 is facing a chaotic weather setup on the White House South Lawn, with a 60% chance of thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and wind gusts up to 34 mph threatening to delay the outdoor fights. On top of the storm risk, brutal D.C. humidity is driving a triple-digit heat index alongside massive swarms of mosquitos and gnats that fighters will have to battle inside the cage. While the venue’s massive 92-foot overhang will keep the octagon dry, a single lightning strike within eight miles will trigger an automatic 30-minute freeze on the entire event.
Trump’s B’day fight club starts at 8 PM tonight. Weather? Looks like it will be “sporty.”
I wonder whose bright idea it was to hold it outdoors in DC in mid-June?
Not a great weather strategy, TBH ...
I see you’ve scheduled an outdoor patio brunch today because it's 'mid-May.' That’s cute. Enjoy your iced coffee while it turns into actual ice, and your avocado toast gets seasoned with premium Pacific condensation. 🥂🥶 #KarlTheFog#SFBrunch#MayGray#SanFrancisco#PatioSeason
