The Trump administration issued a service change notice announcing no more DMSP data after June 30.
The information alerted forecasters to rapid intensification or other major changes hours before they become apparent in other data—providing crucial time to warn people in harm’s way.

I shouldn’t be shocked, because I know CECOT is a bad place. But reading this took my breath away. All I could think about was Andry. The innocent men sent to be tortured, beaten, starved ‘til their deaths. Our govt did this — intentionally. I cry thinking about what is going through their minds…
Kilmar Abrego Garcia describes being tortured in the El Salvador mega prison, where Trump sent him without due process — admittedly by mistake.

As un-American as it gets. And others are still there.

One of the largest metropolitan cities is having to beg for donations because FEMA is non-existent, thanks to Trump who's busy golfing today.

Hurricane season starts next week.

St. Louisans, particularly in north city, were facing the daunting task of recovery from the storm's devastation, many without power and few resources.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

When a farm goes under, it’s not just a business lost—it’s a family’s future. Our region has lost over 700 dairy farms in just six years. I’m running for Congress to protect what we’ve built and fix what’s broken.

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch
A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

I doubt that anyone from America who goes into CECOT will ever come out.

And this is by design.

If indefinite imprisonment with no prospect of release imposed by fiat without due process isn’t the definition of a gulag, then I don’t know what is.

Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.
stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.

-You cannot legally deport people without due process.

-You cannot legally deport citizens.

-They are defining down deportation to break the law.

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal *honor* to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.

UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!

This isn't going to get the attention of Columbia, but it's at least as bad: the University of Maine is having its funding cut off because the governor of Maine dared to challenge Trump.
I'm appalled by the USDA's decision to pause funding to the University of Maine System.

This will hurt our farmers, halt critical research, and impact students throughout Maine.

Once again, our state is being targeted for retribution—all because our officials are standing up for the rule of law.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

The $400M worth of State Department Teslas? Trump admin said that started in Biden White House. But I obtained a document showing the amount Biden's State Department planned to spend on EVs: $483,000.

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block.

The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.

A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

Again, this isn't about efficiency.
