Read this from Ben Santer (very famous climate scientist for those who don’t know) about what NCAR means and what dismantling it will do.

The release of the Epstein files today just proves that the Convicted FElon is GUILTY of being part of the Epstein sex ring. The Convicted FElon is trying to throw President Clinton under the bus. Hey if he did something, throw him in jail. The Convicted FElon, Bondi, Patel need to be arrested.

Almost no new jobs have been added since April and 710,000 more people are unemployed now compared to a year ago.
Meanwhile consumer prices are skyrocketing thanks to Trump's tariffs.
Does this sound like an "A+++++" economy to you?

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.
Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.
And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.
Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.
It's a power grab.
