The low temperature of 84F at New York City Central Park ties the all time record warmest low temperature (1869-present). The low of 87F at Newark is a new all-time warmest low temperature (1843-present). It's as if something has changed. 🤔

Urgent policing at the reflecting pool in DC. A tourist touched the water.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income. Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

Trump doesn’t think affordability exists

The reflecting pool debacle is the perfect visual metaphor for the Trump Administration - superficial approaches to complex problems leading to worse outcomes than if he had done nothing.

El Niño is here, which means it's time for me to dust off and refine my old collection of ENSO-related climate visualizations. Check out how much sea surface temperatures have already warmed this year across the equatorial tropical Pacific. Wow! Data from psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded...

Okay, folks: The big El Niño update is now out on Weather West! This sure looks like it's going to be a dramatic year from a global climate perspective, and there are major implications for extreme events (across California, the U.S. West, & well beyond).

The NYT has spent weeks trying to destroy Graham Platner—a vet with a history of PTSD, depression, and alcoholism resulting from his public service—so I thought I'd see how the same outlet covers a soon-to-be trillionaire whose actions in 2025 *doomed 14 million people to death*.

Yes, because it's absolutely impossible that a city that's only 18.7% Republican wouldn't vote for the Republican candidate

NEW EPISODE: As California counts its votes, Trump and his allies are calling it rigged, weaponizing the DOJ and laying the groundwork to reject results they don't like in 2026. I explain what they are up to and why we need to fight back. youtu.be/2LQeLY3Ltpg?...

82 years ago today my grandfather, who lied about his age to enlist in the military, was in one of the first waves of landing crafts to hit the beaches of Normandy. He's been gone a long time now, but today I remember him and the other brave souls who fought and died for a righteous cause.

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.

JD Vance keeps lying about California's aggressive fight against fraud. We've walked the walk with nation-leading fraud prevention and have protected billions. Meanwhile, JD's boss is pardoning convicted fraudsters and literally stuffing his pockets with YOUR tax dollars.

Donald Trump LIED when he vowed not to touch Social Security. He fired thousands of workers and cut critical services. The result? Longer lines, unanswered calls, delayed benefits, and workers pushed to the brink. I'll keep fighting to stop him from gutting Social Security.

The first honest thing he’s said

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

As primary season continues, some Democrats claim the party needs to "move to the center" to win in November. Hogwash. Democrats can't repeat the same failed playbook of the last 50 years. It's time for them to grow a spine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQzG_TrhyrY

“LITTLE D” HAS NOT BEEN SEEN BY THE PRESS EVER SINCE I CHALLENGED HIM TO A COGNITIVE TEST ON LIVE NATIONAL TELEVISION! NOT GOOD! — Governor GCN

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

Mastercard is among 12 corporate sponsors of Trump's Freedom 250. Senators led by Sen. Adam Schiff have launched an investigation into Freedom 250 over an alleged 'pay-to-play' scheme. www.impactivize.org/impactivizer...

BREAKING: California’s economy continues to dominate, growing 5% to reach a record GDP of $4.25 trillion in 2025. California outperformed every other state in the nation — continuing a 16-year growth streak and grew faster than the 2nd largest state, Texas.

The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator. The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization. Congress is on recess. This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.

With the news that a second plane, an A10 was shot down (pilot safe) makes me wonder if those recent shipments from Russia to Iran had some new weapons

Trump April 1st: We could hit it and it would be gone. And there’s not a thing they could do about it. They have no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100% annihilated. We are unstoppable…

IT'S TIIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEEEEE!! Drastic times call for drastic measures. If you can stay home, AWESOME. If you can't, please consider NOT BUYING anything that day. The POINT is the pressure of OUR POWER. #MAYDay #May1st #GeneralStrike #NOBusinessAsUSUAL www.commondreams.org/news/no-king...

Donald Trump's chaotic war with Iran is dramatically increasing fertilizer costs ahead of planting season for farmers in California and across the nation. The president's unhinged actions are destroying lives and livelihoods.

A few thoughts ahead of the President’s speech tonight.

It’s as American as apple pie that if you’re born in America, you’re a citizen. Trump’s attacks on birthright citizenship are un-American and insane. The Supreme Court must uphold this constitutional right.

I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”

This is an excellent summary of current circumstances Kyle Kulinski: “A sundowning president with Alzheimer’s who’s a malignant narcissist is dragging us into WWIII, committing war crimes on a daily basis and crashing the global economy, and nobody is actually grabbing the steering wheel.”

San Diego just gave us the best reveal of No Kings Day. #NoKings

Honestly, this historic heat dome across the West is really hard to put into words for me. Temperatures over 110°F (43°C) in March, shattering all-time monthly records on multiple consecutive days, and not just by a little. ➡️ I can confirm this is human-caused climate change. polarwx.com/models/

History is made. New US March monthly heat record at Martinez Lake, AZ at 110°! The most intense spring #heatwave in US history.

Fair to say that the Western U.S. heatwave has reached record-shattering status, with dozens of locations breaking all-time March monthly heat records & some now approaching *April* records. Swath of record heat extends clear from Pacific to Great Plains, & from Canada to Mexico.

This is a WIN for science. RFK Jr’s overhaul of vaccine recommendations has been BLOCKED by a federal court. The ACIP committee cannot meet as planned this week, since its membership has been invalidated, and ALL votes made by those advisers in the last year have also been invalidated.

Seems less than ideal.

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

Red hot wholesale price index in January. My colleague Meagan Martin-Schoenberger posted it to her linked in page. Hottest core goods (ex energy & food) since early 2022 when inflation soared. Profit margins, with exception of vehicles, which have absorbed tariffs via margin losses & layoffs…

Schiff: I've not missed the State of the Union in the 25 years I've been in Congress, but we have never had a president violate the constitution every day with seeming impunity. We can't treat this as some new normal, so I'm here boycotting...

ICE tackles and arrests New Jersey father outside his home, leaving his 6-year-old first-grade daughter at home alone. She goes out looking for him. "I got my boots and changed my clothes. I wanted to find some help to find my dad..." www.ms.now/the-weekend-...

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔 (From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

This says it and it’s exactly what it is….
