Storm’s comin’…⛈️🌪️

Weirdest lightning optics that I've ever seen. Not sure what's going on here #wywx

You can't solve problems you refuse to measure.

Yet this month, 900 ocean monitoring instruments are being physically pulled out of the water. A $368 million system. A decade to build. Designed to run 15 more years.

Gone.

This network tracked hurricane intensity, coastal flooding, marine heatwaves, and sea level rise. The data was free, public and used in over 500 scientific publications. Congress tried to stop it... twice. They got overruled anyway.

For a coastal community like FL-13 that just lived through Helene, this isn't abstract. This is the difference between an evacuation order that comes in time and one that doesn't.

Florida deserves a representative who fights for the science that protects us, not one who looks the other way while it gets dismantled.

I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

The lack of morning weather balloons launched across the western and central U.S. is having a real, tangible impact on degrading forecast quality.

We can't look at weather balloon data that doesn't exist. We can't pump nonexistent data into models. We can't rely as heavily on models that don't "know" what's happening above our heads.

Today's severe weather forecast is less certain because we don't have weather balloon data to confirm the strength of jet stream winds aloft.

This is extremely frustrating, and is the result of logistical, organizational, political and budgetary decisions.

@_AsItMay @DenverChannel As opposed to utility poles? 🤔

[J/O Shotz @JOSHOTZ_]

@DenverChannel lmao so as soon as data centers started getting pushed magically the climate crisis goes away. 🫠🙃….You can’t make this up if you tried 😂

Here’s an actual video of the tornado intercept near Palmer, NE earlier, still in shock that happened… #newx @NWSHastings

[Doppler on Wheels (DOW) @DOWFacility]

It happened so fast! The Saint Libory, Nebraska tornado on 17 May as seen by DOW A. Rapid development into an intense tornado🌪️ with Doppler velocities of 170mph! …then a quick dissipation. #newx

[WX Bear @wx_bear]

@DenverPolice Worst accident I’ve seen and I’ve seen sons bad ones! Looked like a tornado threw the vehicles…

Tampons are taxed. Abortion is banned. IVF is under threat. Meanwhile, Viagra is covered by insurance. Priorities aren't hidden, they're legislated.

If you’re scared of “athletes pretending to be women” wait’ll you hear about fascists pretending to be Christian

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

MAGA aren’t drawn to Trump because he is smart, competent, or “Christian”. They are drawn to him because he tells uneducated, insecure, angry people that their stupidity, ignorance, and racism are actually strengths.

[MAGA Cult Slayer🦅🇺🇸 @MAGACult2]

If you had read project 2025 you would know that ice taking over for TSA was always part of the plan. They are privatizing our federal government. Without our consent.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Apparently when people actually do what Jesus Christ taught, they get called “woke liberals.”
Interesting.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Donald Trump called mail-in voting “mail-in cheating” on Monday. That same day, news broke that he just voted by mail in a Florida special election.

His polling place is a 15-minute drive from Mar-a-Lago.

He spent the last two weekends there.

He mailed it anyway.

He is now holding the entire country hostage to pass a bill making it harder for you to vote the way he just voted.

Shameless hypocrisy.

Endless propaganda has convinced Americans that bombs dropping in the Middle East is “normal.” As if those families don’t have jobs, school, hopes & dreams. As if every life lost isn’t someone’s entire universe.

Geographical luck. That’s the only difference between you & them.

American is a healthy 28 year old, he decided to skip paying for health insurance this year because the cheapest plan was $900 per month with a high deductible

He had to spend 2 nights in the ER without insurance, he breaks down the bill

“This is my receipt from spending 2 days in the hospital:

- It totaled about $24,000
- My CT scan alone was $8,300
- Laboratory, 6,000
- IV therapy, $1,020, $4,000 in total

And while $24,000 seems like a lot of money, let me show you something. This is what I'm actually paying, $2,478

because when you don't have insurance, these hospitals give you a discount. They discounted $22,000 off of this bill”

“But if I had insurance, I wouldn't have gotten that discount. So it would've been a $24,000 bill billed to my insurance, and then my insurance would've said, ‘Hey, you have a $5,000 deductible. You need to pay $5,000 for this last emergency room visit.’

Then you tack on the $900 a month that I'd be paying for that insurance. I'd be paying $20K this year for healthcare.

So the craziest part about this is even if I have another hospital visit, by the end of this year, I'm still gonna be paying less than I would if I had insurance. At minimum, my cost for healthcare this year would've been $20,000 with insurance. Right now I'm at $2,400.”

US Health Insurance is a scam
