My friend from the NOAA lab that brings you the Keeling Curve wants that world to know that things are horrible inside NOAA.

Defence Ministry Update: Border surveillance has not detected any abnormal activity. We stand rock-hop-ready to rock, set to defend ourselves against all threats both foreign and domestic (elephant seals mainly)

I just received my first Social Security payment in my account. I'm relieved because I don't want to dip into my 401K.

They said we'd have a record-beating economy, and they were right - largest two days of wealth destruction in nominal dollar terms *ever*:

Why are these MAGA supporters against weather reporting?
Almost all NOAA Research websites that rely on cloud services - including Amazon, Google and WordPress - are poised to disappear at midnight ET Saturday after a contract was targeted for "early termination." Labs may also feel the effects.

I suspect they may be attempting to harm us.
The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

How about Fox Business News?
1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.

2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."

3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."

This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.
