We are officially in the Twitchification era of weather. Bro-like streamers that are cosplaying as meteorologists and think that issuing weather warnings is some kind of video game. It’s worse than it has ever been.

Not to be too pro technocrat, but it is astounding how much this country depended on the selflessness of like a few hundred thousand highly educated public servants who, for peanuts, made sure our food and medicine and environment etc were safe. And in return these servants were demonized.

I've been crocheting a special project for my mom and these are some of the pieces and I'm just obsessed with them!

Losing 200 employees to early resignations with no sign of backfilling will be a detriment to public safety nationally.

There is going to be a lot of severe thunderstorms over the next several day. Wednesday, April 2 could be the most concerning day of this very active stretch. Stay weather aware, especially as some areas will be seeing their third or fourth impactful day of the year.

Good article! One thing I'd add about satellites replacing sondes: satellites are good in the upper atmosphere, and less so in the lower atmosphere. So if a human needs to asses the state of the cap on a severe weather day, sondes are a much better tool than satellite-derived temperature profiles.

I’ve argued for two months that we would clearly label DOGE a junta or mercenaries if they were at work overseas. Read this list and tell me how this isn’t an extralegal junta mercenary army?

And just to be absolutely clear here. This is a game. They’re playing games and it’s our safety and awareness that will suffer.

This is absolutely ridiculous and it’s going to be dangerous if we continue playing this game deep into spring and into Hurricane season. While there are ways to replicate a lot of this, the lack of quality upper air data at this growing scale will absolutely impact weather forecast accuracy.

The absolute opposite of efficiency. By no means have recent court decisions been honored in the way they should be. These people need to get back to doing the important work we are paying for them to do.

@chuckschumer.com this is why you shut the fucking government down

ICE agents are torturing a green card holder from New Hampshire, his mother says www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Schumer is trying to justify his vote on Jake Tapper right now, saying if they had let the government shut down "they could fire half the workers in the federal government." WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'RE DOING RIGHT NOW CHUCK
