RSV is the worst.

I keep seeing many Christians post this phrase: "Heaven has gates, hell has open borders. Choose wisely." So here’s my response 🧵

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. https://ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3

Just a reminder that DOGE was never, ever about government efficiency … unless you’re talking about surveillance.

🗣️NEW: In collaboration with our SPC/CIWRO research scientists, the new Severe Hazards Data Viewer is available: spc.noaa.gov/climo/datavi.... On this webpage you can view a 30-yr record for severe storms, wildfires, and lightning in the dynamic and customizable data display.

Our fight against Trump’s reckless threat to dismantle NCAR continues, and we are building a bipartisan coalition to stop it. I urge all Coloradans to make their voices heard during the NSF's public comment period. See the Daily Camera’s reporting 👇🏽

Just did this about an hour ago. Form is nicely set up to provide you with context and even an outline. Website includes summary of comments request and suggested talking points.

Reskeeting as the poster session is starting soon.

WARNING, fellow journalists: As @nicoschmidt.io explains, attackers are trying to hijack reporters' Signal accounts by tricking people into handing over their 2FA codes. www.linkedin.com/posts/nicosc...

Couldn’t make it to #AMS2026 this year … but our poster did! Come see it at 3 pm CT in the EIPT section (#566). We’re working on a fire warning product and tool in Hazard Service to be tested at the NOAA Fire Weather Testbed. Contact me or @kylethiem.bsky.social with questions or comments!

Today is "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" day!

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

We dedicated much of tonight's program to an in-depth look at what Colorado is doing to prevent - and prepare for - President Trump's violent crackdown by federal forces potentially coming to Colorado. This is a thread of those reports.

About 12 miles east of Mile High stadium (south end of Aurora Reservoir). It’s a tad breezy. #cowx

Extremely funny that the champion of the revolutionary left/socialist boogeyman of Republicans everywhere is basically Leslie Knope.

How ICE talks to the public.

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

"And the government shall be upon his shoulder." -Isaiah 9:6 The government of God is the cross. If it doesn't look like the cross, it's not the government (kingdom) of God. "Take up your cross and follow me." -Jesus

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

NEW: I was one of 3 reporters granted access to the convening of 600+ clergy in Minneapolis this week. It was a striking show of solidarity with MN clergy resisting ICE, but heralded something else: the emergence of a vast, faith-based network trained to resist ICE. religionnews.com/2026/01/23/i...

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

As clergy pray, arrests begin

Do you appreciate @nws.noaa.gov's posts on Bluesky? Did you know that this account is a pilot program that may or may not be continued and even expanded to NWS field offices? NWS is soliciting comments here! www.surveymonkey.com/r/PrototypeN... Press release: www.weather.gov/media/notifi...

Coloradans who want to report claims of federal agent misconduct can do so through a new complaint filing system with the state’s Department of Law, officials announced Wednesday. coloradosun.com/2026/01/21/c...

It’s early 2026. The US Government threatens imperial takeover. World peace hangs in the balance. The Cat Signal has been lit. The tide begins to turn against JD Vance and his henchmen.

Thank God my boys are still too young for this …

Really well put together explainer of what’s happening, what could happen, and how to monitor conditions for aurorae. (Unfortunately doesn’t offer baby sitting services on a school night, so scouting out nearby open spaces and preparing my back patio)

One of the best articles we've seen from out-of-town press. Does a good job of covering what isn't getting covered enough and capturing what it feels like on the ground right now... (This is a gift article - lmk if the link doesn't work.) www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

Good morning, beloved. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” -Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

NFL: Choose Love ………. NFL: no, not like that

🤔

Congrats to the Broncos. Though it says something* when a team turns the ball over 5 TIMES! in a game and still goes to OT. * - I have no idea what that something is.

LOL - just half saw a commercial with Boomer Esiason during the Broncos game and until the end I thought it was a new Dr. Rick / Progressive commercial.

This reminds me of George MacDonald’s sermon on Job (Unspoken Sermons) where MacDonald says Job’s friends are “anxious to appease God rather than trust Him”. And while most Christians wrestle with this, American Evangelicals have made this their dogma and it explains a lot about our current state.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Say what you want, but Massie has game.

Reporter: James Talarico just unveiled his anti-corruption agenda. His plan includes getting big money out of politics, banning congressional stock trading, banning partisan gerrymandering nationwide, and establishing term limits for all members of Congress and Supreme Court justices.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus, a group of nearly 100 House Democrats, will announce later today that it's formally endorsing legislation to strip $175 billion from ICE and put it toward affordable housing. www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-fe...

NOW: I'm on the Senate floor to defend funding for the National Center for Atmospheric Research. This is the latest attack by the Administration in their pursuit of vengeance against Colorado. Tune in to watch!

As the AMS Annual Meeting approaches, don’t forget that TTU Atmospheric Science is hiring for two faculty positions. We’ll be at the meeting and can visit if you have any questions in advance of the application deadline.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

😆

Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.
