Imagine trying to convince someone a decade ago that this sentence would be a 100% literally accurate description of the American political situation.
The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Trump faces heat from MAGA base on ‘America First’ agenda, Epstein
MAGA leaders erupted over the president’s assertion that the U.S. needs foreign workers. That rift and others have raised GOP concerns about enthusiasm ahead of the midterms.

In my experience, the Sun is remarkably adept at popping off *MASSIVE* storms just in time to prevent the feds from completely gutting NOAA/NSF space weather programs…🤔 (Yes, really. I don’t make the rules.)
If you live anywhere in the North half of the US I don't think you'll even need to go outside smaller cities to see them. My partner can set them from inside Cedar Rapids! #aurora #northernlights

damn. That woulda been a good pitch last week
In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Daylen Lile finished 5th for NL Rookie of the Year. He's the first Nationals player to receive ROY votes since Victor Robles in 2019, the first Nationals player to receive votes for any BBWAA award since Juan Soto (MVP runner-up) in 2021.
