Noooo…

~25% of employees left this year with the Fork, early retirement, and/or the buyout. Refuges were underfunded before that happened, with annual funding around 25% what is needed.

Recall, refuges also help protect people & infrastructure by helping curb impacts of hurricanes and floods.

This is an important thread that explains a particularly crucial aspect of weather prediction/knowledge & the dangers we face without it.

Please share so more people understand why it’s important.

Let’s talk about weather balloons—a.k.a. radiosondes—and why recent cuts to NWS staffing and balloon launch schedules are putting the public at risk (eg., Deaths in Texas). No satellite or model can replace what these humble balloons do. Here's why. 🧵

Everyone should be making noise about this huge media scandal in the New York Times. While Trump makes money off of frivolous lawsuits against CBS, ABC, etc, the Times is getting away with an anti-Mamdani hit job fed to them by a far right ‘race science’ guy, who they kept anonymous!

The Big Ugly Bill is trash! But it isn’t law—yet. It still has to be passed in the House.

Flood the phone lines! Tell your Representative: #VoteHellNo

☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.
The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported. Not because I have broken any law but because I will refuse to let ICE terrorize our city. His statements don’t just represent an attack on our democracy but an attempt to send a message to every New Yorker who refuses to hide in the shadows: if you speak up, they will come for you. We will not accept this intimidation. That Trump included praise for Eric Adams in his authoritarian threats is unsurprising, but highlights the urgency of bringing an end to this Mayor’s time in City Hall. At the very moment when MAGA Republicans are attempting to destroy the social safety net, kick millions of New Yorkers off of healthcare and enrich their billionaire donors at the expense of working families, it is a scandal that Eric Adams echoes this President’s division, distraction and hate. Voters will resoundingly reject it in November.

While vaccine policy is being unraveled at ACIP, let’s not lose sight of what vaccines have already done.

✨Millions of lives saved.
✨Diseases wiped out.
✨Generations protected.

We made an infographic to show just how much the world owes to vaccines.

#VaccinesSaveLives
Timeline infographic titled 'Vaccines Save Lives: A timeline of the public health successes driven by vaccines this century.' The timeline spans from 1923 to 2020 and shows major vaccines and their impacts: 1923: Tetanus vaccine – Only ~30 U.S. cases per year now, mostly in unvaccinated people. 1945: Influenza vaccine – Saves 29,000–45,000 U.S. lives annually. 1955: Polio vaccine – U.S. eradication; global cases down 99%; ~16 million paralysis cases prevented. 1963: Measles vaccine – U.S. cases down 99%; ~25 million lives saved globally since 2000. 1969: Rubella vaccine – U.S. cases <10/year; congenital rubella syndrome nearly eliminated. 1980: Smallpox eliminated – Saved ~5 million lives/year pre-eradication. 1981: Hepatitis B vaccine – Global liver cancer rates decreased by 75%. 1985: Hib vaccine – U.S. cases down 99%; prevented severe infections in kids. 1995: Chickenpox vaccine – U.S. cases down 97%; shingles cases also reduced. 2006: HPV vaccine – Up to 88% drop in related cancers in vaccinated populations. 2020: COVID-19 vaccine – Saved ~20 million lives in first year; prevented over 1 billion severe cases globally."

WHCA believes it's not the appropriate time for a comedian to ridicule a President and that proper respect must be shown to a man who deports little kids with cancer to other countries with no medicine. Tonight, an opposing view: www.meethook.live/not
