Study warns of terrifying Atlantic Ocean current collapse New research shows a critical Atlantic Ocean current system is weakening faster than expected, raising the risk of irreversible climate disruption.

New research warns the Atlantic Ocean’s key current system (AMOC) is weakening faster than expected, with models now pointing to a ~42–58% slowdown by 2100—pushing it closer to a tipping point that could trigger irreversible global climate disruption.

17 detainees were loaded on yesterday's ICE Air flight at MSP.

A few of the shackled people loaded at 1:00 pm here in Minnesota arrived in El Paso around 8:00 pm.

The local ERO drivers appeared to be fan-girling a bit, watching the Minnesota Wild, who were also at Signature, flown in by Delta.

There’s hope. Every day. Good morning Blue Sky

This is fucking vile! This man sexually abused this boy for 3 years! The kid is just turning 14! Pay attention to who protects the pedophiles. 🤬

Ex-Waco attorney Adam Hoffman gets 30 days in jail in sexual abuse of son’s friend Adam Hoffman was facing life in prison without parole before pleading guilty to charges reduced by Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office.

Time for accountability. Last week AG Paxton's office ⬇️ 1st degree felony charge to 2 class A misdmeanors & offered a plea deal with NO ADDITIONAL JAIL TIME.

In the end, the plea deal was 30 days jail & NO REQUIREMENT TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER.

Four major companies paid $63 million in “settlements” for lawsuits experts called flimsy, which somehow turned into a mysteriously untraceable pile of cash for the Orange Dingus' planned presidential library-slash-luxury-skyscraper. This shouldn't surprise anyone.

Iranian tankers bypass US blockade Dozens of ships exiting the Gulf include several loaded with Iranian oil

34 tankers with ties to Iran bypass Trump’s “supposed” blockcade.

Trump claims his blockade is a success 😂 😂

The Donald is either lying or he has no idea what he’s doing or what’s actually happening … likely it’s both!

Lot of people on the right crying about the Virginia redistricting vote.

We told you this would happen while you were celebrating the illegal off-cycle seat grab in Texas.

Stop playing stupid games if you don’t want to win stupid prizes.

An on-again, off-again ceasefire at the same time as a blockade, makes perfect sense if you see it for what it is:

Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt · 3h Trump, the biggest failed strategist in US history, has plunged America into a strategic catastrophe. During his self-proclaimed “victory parade” against Iran, he squandered at least 45% of the US's precision-guided missile arsenal in just seven weeks—including half of all THAAD missiles and nearly 50% of Patriot interceptor missiles. This isn't some fake news blog reporting this, but CNN, citing a CSIS analysis and internal Pentagon data. The result? An “imminent risk” of munitions depletion should a real conflict erupt in the coming years—for example, with China. Trump has ruined the US defense capability for years to come. And for what? For nothing. No regime change in Iran. No destroyed nuclear program. No strategic breakthrough. Just a shaky ceasefire that gives the mullahs time to rearm while America stands naked. Trump, the great “Art of the Deal” master, has once again only produced hot air – and in doing so, burned through the most expensive and scarce weapons in the USA like a pubescent boy with fireworks.

This seems bad.

And I'm pretty sure our enemies are paying attention.
