Donald Trump and Kristi Noem have stained America’s credibility. ICE is a lawless agency that must be abolished.

The next Democratic president must act to restore the U.S. as a nation that delivers for its people and stands as a respected partner on the world stage.

As expected, a line of heavy rain & gusty winds is moving through LA this AM. Torrential downpours will bring urban/street flooding & locally more serious flash flooding (in steep terrain/burn areas). A few damaging wind gusts or even a brief/weak tornado is also possible. #CAwx

Michelle Haas did not seek to bring her case to the Texas Supreme Court. That's the end of the road. We won.
In 2024, I wrote a story for Texas Monthly about Michelle Haas, whose complaints resulted in the removal of books about slavery from historic Texas slave plantations. Haas sued us, alleging defamation, and was represented by the preferred lawyer of billionaire J.P. Bryan. Today, we won on appeal.

A strange find from the Epstein files:

A hacker named Vincenzo Iozzo shares with Epstein a rumor that Peter Thiel was "bankrolling" the neo-Nazi white supremacist hacker troll known as "weev."

Conversation is about financial strategies and "currencies."

The following table shows how "rare" the air mass is predicted to be over California on Wednesday morning. Temperatures at 5,000 feet are forecast to be around -4C (25F) over the Bay Area. This happens roughly once every other year. So it will certainly be cold! #CAwx

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title…

“How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work”

Way to devalue my experience.

There are absolutely no wildflowers in Death Valley. Especially not any near Jubilee Pass. Only awesome diamictites and dolostones. Definitely stay away if you don’t like rocks. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski:

“It is a complete falsehood to claim that mass migration was a left-wing project. For decades, it was supported by Republican businessmen who wanted cheap labor from Latin America in the United States.”

The looming snowstorm will not wipe out the Sierra snow drought, but it'll put a dent into it.

The Truckee watershed needs 9.1 in. of snow water equivalent through Wednesday, Feb. 18 to reach median.
Carson: 6.3” SWE
Walker: 4.5” SWE

Warm temperatures, not a lack of precipitation, is the culprit

Adopting Ted Bundy’s favorite strategy
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

I saw a live birthed harbor seal pup for the first time in my life today. I thought it would be horrifying because I have a weak stomach, but it turned to UNGODLY CUTE very fast!

Using this thread for some moments in the minutes after. All shot on my z8, edited on phone for now. 🦭 🦑
