#Melissa has continued strengthening overnight, to a pressure around 913-914mb, with winds having risen to about 145-150kt based on obs from this morning's recon. Surprisingly no sign of an ERC yet. Can only hope there is some weakening on the way soon, awful situation for Jamaica

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout.
On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar.
This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media.
Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵

That tracks with the GFS forecast for significant wave heights with #Erin. In fact, the peak value is exceeding the colorbar on @tropicaltidbits.bsky.social maps, >48 ft in 24 hours!

I'd like list a couple pet peeves of mine that regular folks & professional mets have done this #hurricane season that is poor form:
(1) Naming storms before they are actually named.
(2) Sharing deterministic model forecasts (including AI models) beyond 5-7 days.
Allow me a mini-rant to explain:🧵

Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.

Mohsen Mahdawi was released on bail today from his illegal detention at the hands of the Trump administration. Good.
In America, you are not supposed to end up in a jail cell for expressing your opinion.
This is a major step forward in the fight against authoritarianism.
