What happened seems to be this: a truly vast lake of meltwater, trapped between ice sheets, butting up against the England-France land bridge and fed by the Thames and Rhine...

And at some point, the pressure was too much.

BANG!

(Or, whatever noise an event *this* massive would make.)

President Trump is building a “shadow budget” outside of Congressional control. @scott-levy.bsky.social explains why it is unlawful and how Congress should respond:

1) @washingtonpost.com reported Thursday on a controversial policy downgrading how nooses and swastikas are labeled in the Coast Guard.

2) Admin officials attacked The Post, falsely alleging the reporting of "fake crap."

3) The CG said it would review policy language.

4) The CG reversed course.

The plan says that "A dialogue will be held between Russia and NATO, mediated by the United States." This implies that both Russia and the Trump administration don't see the US as part of NATO in any real sense. That should deeply alarm every other NATO state.

The CDC rewrote its vaccine guidance to suggest infant vaccines may cause autism. The federal government is no longer a reliable source of truth. And that’s what authoritarianism looks like; when science becomes political messaging.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.
