How is dying from complications of a medical condition at age 43 termed “natural causes?” Natural causes means you’re old and your body wears out. We’re expected to believe having a seizure to the point of asphyxiation and death is considered dying in one’s sleep? There’s more to this.
Jessica Aber, former U.S. attorney found dead, had epilepsy and died in her sleep, family says
Authorities had said they had no evidence suggesting Aber's death was caused by anything other than natural causes.

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block.

The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.

A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

Again, this isn't about efficiency.

It is TIME TO MARCH! Writing about this assault on our democracy in our own echo chamber isn’t doing anything to stop it. Where is our MLK? Who is he/she? This is the trumpet call and I for one will answer. I’ll be in Austin, TX. How about you?

A thought:

Donald Trump fired the head of TSA, illegally fired the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee, put a hiring freeze on FAA air traffic controllers, and is trying to get other federal employees (including air traffic controllers) to quit.

After indicating that he supports getting rid of free school lunches and funding for childhood cancer research, Rep. Rich McCormick refers to RFK Jr as "JFK Jr" and asks, "when in history have we had our poorest people also be our fattest people?" Total clown show.

Late last night, Trump fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies.

Inspectors general are tasked with rooting out fraud, abuse, and corruption.

Trump wants loyalists in these positions — a key tenant of Project 2025.

Trump ousts at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge
The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.

Donald Trump rescinded Biden's action to lower prescription drug costs for Americans on Medicare and Medicaid.

There's no other way to spin it. That means more money out-of-pocket for seniors and families.

Big Pharma first. Ordinary people last.

Donald Trump will be indoors for the inauguration with his billionaire pals. His core supporters will be left outside in the cold.

Think about that.

So disappointed with Democratic and liberal-leaning “leadership!” Where are you?! Where have you been? The people who are dreading tomorrow and the next 4 years need comfort & direction. Maybe it’s for the best you all lost.

physics of climate impacts 101:
- Stuff gets hot (worse heatwaves)
- Hot air holds more water vapor (heavier rainfall)
- Hot air is thirstier air (higher drought risk)
- Warm water is hurricane food (stronger storms)
- Hot water expands and hot ice melts (sea level rise)
