This is, I think, the best push alert and makes me wonder why this directness isn’t the norm.

This is wild. Reminds me of the convective mode I've observed when a hurricane eye contracts so tightly that it's effectively a supercell.

A great time at #CrankyDorkfest next to In-and-Out Burger at #LAX!

Great perspectives abound at #SpotLAX and #CrankyDorkfest this weekend at #LAX!

On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout. On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar. This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media. Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵

A1 above the fold in the @nytimes.com. The message is getting through. Keep pushing everyone. We can save the #CDC, save the #NIH from the clutches of #RussellVought #StephenMiller and #DonaldTrump. Keep the pressure up on your members of Congress and the media (letters to editors, op-eds).

Could you imagine if Biden’s hand ever looked like this?! There’d be freaking billboards.

There is a ton of discussion about these storms in western Minnesota tonight…

“Anti-science rhetoric is winning, here’s your investor upside…” is nice and cringey.

August 10, 2020: One of the worst derechos in US history ravaged the Midwest. The MCS carved a path from eastern Nebraska to Michigan over the course of ~11 hours. Winds as high as 140 mph produced substantial crop and structural damage throughout Iowa and Illinois. (1/2)

We lived in Cedar Rapids, ground zero for the awful August 10, 2020 derecho. We were *very* fortunate that our only damage was a young maple that was snapped and resin shed being obliterated (parts of it found their way to the next street over). No damage to our home itself, unlike others. (🧵 1/6)

‘1984’ is upon us

“The fact that this [report] has been released at the same time that the government has hidden the actual congressionally mandated national climate assessments that accurately reflect the science only further shows how much of a farce this is.”

Delta Air Lines flight #DL56 from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam experienced “significant turbulence” and diverted to Minneapolis. Delta says 25 people on board were taken to local hospitals. flightradar24.com/data/flights...

TSUNAMI ADVISORY 1: See tsunami.gov for alert areas. M8.0 080mi SE Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka 1625PDT Jul 29

BREAKING: A magnitude 8.7 earthquake triggers tsunami alert for Japan and tsunami warnings for portions of the U.S. West Coast, Alaska and Hawaii.

The National Tsunami Warning Center has issued a Tsunami Watch for San Francisco following the 8.7 earthquake in Kamchatka, Russia. A Tsunami Watch means the danger of a tsunami affecting San Francisco is not yet known. DEM is monitoring and will send out additional information when available.

"I completely agree with Nick Fuentes" is a sentence I never thought I'd write.

United Airlines flight attendants have overwhelmingly rejected a five-year tentative agreement, with about 92% turnout and roughly 71% of ballots opposing the deal that promised substantial wage increases and contract improvements. - More on hype.aero

Tonight!

Russell Vought claimed on CNN this weekend that NIH funding is corrupt. As @juliametraux.bsky.social reported this February, his family has directly benefited from the NIH.

🚨 Flash Flood Warning issued July 23 at 9:43PM CDT until July 24 at 2:45AM CDT by NWS Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 🚨 Additional Details Here.

"I can distract people from my association with the country's most famous pedophile sex trafficker by insisting we bring back racist sports team names" is a hell of an argument

Internship alert: Delta Airlines has a Meteorology Co-Op spot open for Spring 2026 and beyond. Rare opportunity to get into aviation weather forecasting: delta.avature.net/en_US/career...

Always good to remember.

Congestion pricing by the # ‘s 6 months in: * 67k fewer drivers entering zone daily * Delays in Holland Tunnel down 65% * Traffic deaths down 32% so far in 2025 * $500m projected this year for MTA capital improvements * B’way attendance +12% * Subway ridership +7% So yes this program is a SUCCESS.

Wildly, this hugely successful mobility program is still being targeted by the Trump Administration’s USDOT, which wants to shut it down—and bring back traffic, noise, and a less effective transportation system!

I have spent the last 24 hours looking at media reports and social media posts about the Texas Hill County tragedy and being appalled by the level of misinformation I am seeing. I have tried to put together an updated, more reasoned summary I hope you'll read. open.substack.com/pub/balanced...

Hurricane forecasters and scientists rely on weather data collected and processed by Department of Defense satellites. The Navy has decided to stop sharing the data.

Last month was the 3rd lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of June This was 1,280,000 km² below the 1981-2010 June average. Data from the @nsidc.bsky.social at nsidc.org/data/seaice_...

The GOP just passed a bill most of them vehemently disagree with — and that they know is going to harm their constituents — because they’re afraid of Trump. Pretty pathetic stuff.

We are losing access to key weather satellite data important for hurricane forecasting. But remember when we said that computer models were less reliant on balloons because they now use satellite data? Well, this is some of that satellite data and we're losing it. open.substack.com/pub/balanced...

The dismantling of the research apparatus that made America the science and tech giant it's been over the past century is the greatest own-goal in history. We haven't even begun to calculate or feel the losses

oh hey Iran deal

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

The editorial board of a publication in Sen. Mike Lee's home state of Utah called on him to apologize for his posts about the Minnesota shootings, writing that they “were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.”

Can we do some good after tragedy? Speaker Hortman helped train service animals, and Gilbert, pictured here, was deemed “too friendly” to be a service animal and so the family adopted him. He was murdered along with the Hortman’s this weekend. Help out Helping Paws: helpingpaws.org/donation-page/

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

Great sunsets FTW. #mnwx

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

We got him. Providing an update on the manhunt momentarily. m.youtube.com/watch?v=RxT-...

What a legacy and what a tragedy 19thnews.org/2025/06/rep-...

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

We are following reports of an accident involving an Air India flight AI171 from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick. It was operated by VT-ANB, a Boeing 787-8. We received the last signal from the aircraft at 13:38 local time (08:08 UTC), just seconds after take off, at an altitude of 625 feet.

Rest in peace Gary England, a TV weather legend.
