All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

📌URGENT: The Associated Press is one of the foremost news operations in the world. Without it, most media entities could not survive.
📌Well, the AP has now been barred from the White House.
I'd suggest very strongly that any media that gets its news from AP takes a damn stand here in solidarity.

This is insane. Eric Adams is on Fox and Friends as Homan’s pet dog, and Holman is openly discussing “the agreement we came to,” and NO DEM ANYWHERE IS SAYING ANYTHING

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
