Do you live in Alabama? Do you have friends and family in Alabama? Call Tuberville at

256-692-7500 Huntsville
205-760-7307 Birmingham
334-523-7424 Montgomery
334-547-7441 Dothan

130,000 people in Alabama deserve so much better than this.
130,000 Alabamans are about to lose their health insurance as a direct result of the “One big beautiful bill”, and a Florida man is tweeting like it’s some kind of win.

If you live in the state, call Sen. Tuberville and tell him what’s on your mind: 202-224-3121

In a 2024 paper criticizing the 'billion-dollar-disasters' database, Roger Pielke Jr. published analysis that is best described as a Russian-doll of errors.

Here's my in-depth take down of his appallingly bad work.

Roger Pielke Jr.’s Appallingly Bad Analysis of Billion Dollar Disasters – Economics from the Top Down
In a recent paper called Scientific integrity and U.S. “Billion Dollar Disasters”, Roger Pielke Jr. published a chart that's so bad I've devoted a whole essay to debunking it.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

A fact that's lived rent-free in my head since I wrote this piece in 2021 is during a smallpox outbreak from 1898-1903, some people BURNED THEIR ARMS WITH ACID to mimic smallpox vaccine scars to get around vax mandates

People burned themselves with acid rather than protect themselves from smallpox
