NOAA cut funding to the Alaska Earthquake Center, directed by my friend Mike West. As a result, seismic monitoring by nine stations in Alaska tracking tsunami-causing earthquakes will go offline by the end of the month. This endangers people in Alaska, Hawaiʻi, and other parts of the Pacific.

"They were simply shopping at Sam's Club," said man who took video.

"ICE agents drove by and sprayed pepper spray directly inside—where their baby and 16 year old sister sat."

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

No matter how they voted last night, every one of them has a say in maintaining Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin as their caucus leaders. Every one of them is accountable here.

It's wild that people can get used to this - Ukrainians here pretty damn calm as drones and artillery(?) slam into their building / directly next to it over and over and over.
Intense fighting continues in Pokrovsk as Ukrainian defense forces repel Russian assaults under relentless drone attacks. Combat footage from the area shows the intensity of the battles.

Normalize calling these people liars. That is what they are.
Italian Senator left Jeffrey Sachs literally speechless and shocked by calling him a liar and a propagandist.

It happened on Prime Time Italian television.

Priceless 🤩
