Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

@schumer.senate.gov You are an utter disgrace. What a repugnant betrayal to all your colleagues and millions of Americans who will suffer because of your pathetic weakness.

The cruelty of saying “hospitals are ready” by increasing ICU beds and body bags… instead of fixing the ventilation.

Just mull over that for a bit #MedSky.

This is encouraging. Californians understood the assignment. We got loud and spread the word on Prop 50. This is a fight against Republican anti-democratic tactics, but we still have to vote.

Get those ballots in, early voting has started. We’re going to pass Prop 50.

Ballot drop-off locations are now open. You don’t have to wait until November to vote!

If you’re voting by mail, we recommend returning your ballot before October 31st to ensure it is postmarked by Election Day, November 4, 2025.

Bottom line: VOTE EARLY!

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

I know I say it often, but it's always worth watching these office hours. Been following Dr. Swain since he first started his blog. I learn something valuable every single time he posts. And the office hours are really great - he answers relevant questions live. Well worth an hour of your time!
Given the very active thunderstorm/wildfire pattern in northern/eastern CA and the broader West over the past 48 hours, I expect this will be an especially interesting session... 👀 #CAwx #CAfire
I'll host a live "virtual office hour" session on Tue, Aug 26 @ 4pm PT to discuss the recent SW heat (and ongoing PacNW heat) as well as the widespread monsoonal thunderstorm and wildfire outbreak in recent days. Expect a live radar/satellite tour! #CAwx #CAfire

Always worth watching these live sessions with Dr. Swain.
I'll host a live weather & climate virtual office hour at 3pm PT on Wed, Aug 20. I'll talking about the significant heatwave to come across CA & U.S. SW later this week--including rising wildfire risk & potential for a monsoonal moisture surge! #CAwx

Why are some still spreading misinfo that "masks only work when everyone wears one," & use it as an excuse not to mask as "no-one else is."

It isn't all or nothing. While it's safer when more mask because there's less virus in the air, a well-fitting mask protects you even if no-one else masks.

Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference.

When you unyoke the humanities from science you get Dr. Josef Mengele
In which a Yale prof calls for jettisoning humanities to make way for science-only universities.

“scientists… are being punished for the sins of [humanities scholars] because we all live under one roof. I cannot see a compelling reason for our continued cohabitation.”
Unyoke the Sciences From the Humanities
Arts and sciences typically cohabitate. Should they?
