I’m still dumbfounded how easy it was for Putin to coopt the Republican Party through Trump. This is extraordinary. One of the two ruling parties of the most powerful country in the world, doing the bidding of a genocidal dictator. Don’t really know how to process this.

My favorite Sir Elton song just happens to offer a healthy dose of trademark acoustic piano. Taken from my favorite Elton LP, a simply fantastic record.

NEW: @FoxNews has obtained an internal CBP memo that Acting CBP Commissioner Troy Miller sent out to CBP leadership today re: the Senate border deal, which he calls “the strongest set of tools we have had in decades.”
Miller has worked in CBP for 30+ years.

Memo below:

“CBP Leaders, 

As you have likely heard by now, yesterday the Senate released a bipartisan national security agreement. To better respond to the volume of encounters we have seen in recent years, we need more resources and stronger enforcement tools than currently available to manage migration at the border. 

This proposed legislation would provide the strongest set of tools we have had in decades to effectively manage migration and enhance our nation’s border security. The primary enforcement changes in this agreement include the Border Emergency Authority that would deem individuals who cross the border at times of high encounters ineligible for asylum and order them summarily removed, changes to strengthen the Credible Fear interviews so that only individuals who are more likely to be eligible for asylum are favorably screened to continue in the process, and a new accelerated provisional removal process that will eventually enable asylum claims to be adjudicated in a matter of months not years.   

Critically, this agreement would provide much-needed resources to our frontline personnel, with over $6.8B in supplemental funding for CBP alone. This includes funding for over 1,500 new Agents, Officers, and mission support personnel as well as funding for the recently increased GS-12 Border Patrol Agent overtime pay. The bill also includes important new funding for Non-Intrusive Inspection systems, Automated Surveillance Towers, and other key items to improve our ability to perform our missions. In addition, the proposal significantly increases resources for USCIS and ICE to expand their capacity to screen, transport, detain, and remove individuals who cross the border unlawfully at sufficient scale to match recent encounter levels. 

Together, these tools and resources would enable us to maximize consequences against those who unlawfully enter the country, maintain order and security at the border, and appropriately prioritize our essential national security and public safety missions.  

These proposed changes won’t fix everything in our immigration system. But they are tough and fair. And, if enacted into law, they would make meaningful and substantial improvements to our nation’s border and national security. 

As leaders across our agency, I wanted to share these highlights with you now as this legislation moves forward in Congress.  

Thank you for everything you do each day.”

A new study by the National Academy of Science has found that hurricanes are getting so strong in a warming world that a Category 6 intensity should be added to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind scale. Scientists have proposed the addition of a Category 6 to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale due to the increasing intensity of hurricanes fueled by climate change. The proposal is based on the observation that recent storms have exceeded the traditional upper limits of Category 5 hurricanes, and the addition of a new category could help raise awareness of the worsening risks associated with these extreme storms[1][2][3][4].

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which currently ranges from Category 1 to Category 5, is based solely on a hurricane's maximum sustained wind speed. However, it does not account for other significant hazards such as storm surge and rainfall-driven flooding, which are among the biggest killers in hurricanes. Some experts have expressed concerns that adding a Category 6 to the wind scale could overemphasize the wind hazard and not adequately address these other critical concerns[5].

Republicans: We can't fix the border until we're in control, which is why we didn't fix the border when we were in control.
