BREAKING: New York's LaGuardia Airport closes after an Air Canada flight collides with a Port Authority vehicle on the runway, according to an FAA website.

Donald Trump is the reason you are waiting for 6 hours on line at the airport. I hope that helps.

Florida has — or used to have — the nation’s strongest government-in-the-sunshine laws. More and more, officials are simply ignoring the law.

On my last night in Rome, watching this @ricksteves.bsky.social talk on the threats to our American democracy.

Yet another day of record-shattering heat, and now it extends clear across the continental U.S. All-time monthly record high temperatures are occurring from the Desert Southwest eastward to the Mid-Atlantic today, with at least daily records being set from Pacific to Atlantic.

Just an incredible breadth of records.

President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to deploy ICE agents to US airports if congressional Democrats don’t agree to a plan for funding most of the Department of Homeland Security

ok i know it's saturday but i'm trying to help my sister think of an interesting/exciting use of remote sensing that she can write a paper on. she's already done a big project on using remote sensing for tracking invasive plants in ks (cool!) so it needs to be something different/new. any ideas?

Hawaii has suffered its worst flooding in more than 20 years as heavy rains fell on soil already saturated by downpours from a winter storm a week ago.

People arrested while protesting ICE say federal agents took samples of their DNA. It's legal, but experts say the practice raises questions about what the government is doing with that genetic data.

A Georgia woman was charged with murder after going to the emergency room with severe pain she experienced after allegedly taking abortion pills at home. https://wapo.st/4lJ8pGv

NEW: Democrat Jim Himes is quietly courting his own caucus to protect Kash Patel's power to access Americans' communications without a warrant, because, he says, things at the FBI seems totally fine! My latest for @wired.com

I've confirmed an invitation was sent out to some staff at DHS about a going away party for Kristi Noem. The invite said it was scheduled for yesterday. If you have more info about where the party was held, who was there, photos/videos, etc. I can be reached on Signal at marisakabas.04

we are battle testing the "Trump will back down from any policy if the stock market drops more than 5%" thesis today

The International Energy Agency is calling for people to cut oil demand by working from home more, flying less and driving slower, as the Iran war rocks global energy markets. ft.trib.al/gfbNyyI

This is the article I’m sending young women who work in emergency management when they tell me they have imposter syndrome. I promise you are infinitely more capable than the men running FEMA.

How are things going at FEMA? Well, one of the highest ranking officials believes he is capable of teleportation, so not the best.

"Perez-Jimenez is the second person to die in ICE custody this week, after an Afghan immigrant — whose family said he had been evacuated from his country after working for years with U.S. forces — died in a Texas hospital after being detained by immigration authorities."

First time using @ricksteves.bsky.social free audio tours during a trip to Italy and they are great! I will often use them over the audio tour provided by the venue. The city walking tours are also helpful to orient around the city.

Update: The Trump administration says it is seeking a huge budget to refill and expand its munitions.

Florida is really unprepared for what would happen if Cuban refugees start coming in the thousands because we've been too busy giving 90 million dollars of disaster response money to a porta pot company

A frantic 911 call from a resident who reported “popping sounds” and a front door that wouldn’t open sent fire fighters to the complex on Sand Lake Road.

"'Who knows better about surprise than Japan?' he said, turning to Takaichi with a chuckle. 'Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?' Takaichi didn’t treat that as a laugh line, instead pursing her lips and casting glances to her advisers seated to the side in the Oval Office."

Astounding. Donald Trump is writing some VERY expensive checks on the world’s collective bank account right now.

To recap: We need a fresh $200 billion and international assistance to win the war that we have already won and for which we need no assistance

Breaking News: A Senate committee cleared the way for Markwayne Mullin’s nomination as homeland security chief to move to the Senate floor. He is expected to face a confirmation vote next week.

For better or worse, I dug into that paper that claimed to upend everything we know about the oceans taking up most of the heat from global warming. It's a perfect example of how AI makes it easy to produce science-y papers that amount to climate disinformation.

No reason

An epic shot of the "medicane" post-landfall in Libya.

Residents in Northeast Ohio reported a loud boom Tuesday morning as a suspected meteor fell from the sky. The fireball could be seen hundreds of miles away, and the American Meteor Society said it received reports from Wisconsin to Maryland.

Andrew Sheeran was the state’s chief legal architect behind a deal with Medicaid company Centene that’s now part of a criminal investigation.

Holy bleep. Grady Judd is now breaking with Trump and criticizing the deportation of people who haven't committed crimes, and calling for a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. When you're too brutal for Grady Judd, you've crossed all lines of basic human decency and then some.

Multiple rounds of severe storms through this evening will yield potential for scattered to widespread damaging winds and a few strong tornadoes from the Carolinas into the Mid-Atlantic States.

“Audibly gasped” is not a phrase I hear much in NWS discussions. From NWS-Monterey: “The guidance on the strength of this heat wave is remarkable. I audibly gasped when I saw the ECMWF Extreme Forecast Index for maximum temperatures next week. I have never seen it anywhere near this aggressive.”
