So those justices said f*ck checks and balances?
#BREAKING: Psaki: “Last night, a local TV news station in Florida broke a story that just absolutely floored me. CBS News Miami obtained a sealed grand jury report…that detailed how Florida governor Ron Desantis’ administration allegedly diverted $10 million from a settlement that was supposed to give poor kids healthcare, and directed that money through a non profit affiliated with the governor’s wife, and then into political action committees aligned with Desantis himself, as well as to the Florida Republican Party, and then somehow a bunch of the people involved in making that happen, all wind up getting huge promotions from Governor Desantis.”
He has lil dick syndrome
You know it's fcuked up when the weatherman loses hope!

I will admit that I hardly ever watch the news on television, especially not for the weather. It's just so much easier to pick up my phone and check Google or The Weather Channel. I just want to know how warm it's going to be or how likely it is to rain. These days, I can find that out in about 10 seconds and go about my day.
But when there's potential danger, hurricanes, storms that might knock out the power of topple over trees, tornado warnings, or threats of ice and snow, my trusty local meteorologist or weatherman is always there. All of that said, I've never once considered that I might not be able to get my weather forecast from either source, at least not accurately. It's 2025, our weather modeling should be better than ever, state of the art, right?
John Morales, a meteorologist and hurricane specialist with NBC6 in South Florida, was reporting on an upcoming storm when he suddenly shifted gears, right in the middle of the broadcast.
"I am here to tell you that I am not sure I can do that this year."
Why? "Because of the cuts, the gutting, the sledgehammer attack on science in general."
Morales then pulled up a graphic instead of his usual weather map. It laid out some stark realities about severe understaffing of the National Weather Service, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Between brutal layoffs, employees accepting the recent DOGE buyout, and straight-up resignations, the agencies responsible for collecting weather data have lost hundreds and hundreds of valuable experts.
That's a pretty scary thought, especially in a place like South Florida. What do you do when your local meteorologist can't predict what a powerful hurricane will do next?
"This is a multi-generational impact on science in this country," Morales warns.
Almost nine million people viewed the powerful clip on X. It was reshared over 26,000 times. Morales' message is definitely getting the attention it deserves.
(And yes, even the Weather app on your iPhone needs a database to pull from.)
Despondent weatherman goes off-script on live TV to explain why he ‘can’t’ forecast anymore

A weatherman's on-air confession
Morales explains that in his 34 years of presenting the weather, he's always been able to confidently tell his viewers when a hurricane might hit, or when it might turn away. He's always been able to stand behind his data, modeling, and forecast in order to help protect the people of South Florida."I am here to tell you that I am not sure I can do that this year."
Why? "Because of the cuts, the gutting, the sledgehammer attack on science in general."

Between brutal layoffs, employees accepting the recent DOGE buyout, and straight-up resignations, the agencies responsible for collecting weather data have lost hundreds and hundreds of valuable experts.
Why weather data is disappearing
He also explained that due to federal government budget cuts, there's been a sizable decrease in weather balloon launches across the country. Weather balloons are instruments that take crucial measurements of the upper atmosphere and send data that helps with forecasting. With less data available, and lower quality data, Morales say that "the quality of forecasts is becoming degraded."That's a pretty scary thought, especially in a place like South Florida. What do you do when your local meteorologist can't predict what a powerful hurricane will do next?
"This is a multi-generational impact on science in this country," Morales warns.

The bigger picture behind the cuts
It's not just the National Weather Service that's bleeding. In the name of efficiency, The White House has slashed budgets at the CDC, the National Institutes of Health, and more. Trimming the federal budget sounds well and good until you realize that we won't be making any major cancer breakthroughs any time soon without funding the research. And we won't be able to protect people from hurricanes and tornadoes without complete weather data.(And yes, even the Weather app on your iPhone needs a database to pull from.)
I rarely don't admit to loving other men, especially strangers whom I have never met. But this brotha is loved. From his love and protection of Black women to staying on these fcukers necks with his platform!!!
From talking ALL DAT SHIT to begging Iran to come to the table, even after Iran said they'll deal with the next Administration instead
I don't even eat ground beef like that, but I am willing to buy a bunch of it and give it to my dog...the one with stomach issues that has to eat this expensive ass dog food otherwise her shyts are liquid. It is worth the late night in-crate accidents. The walking around the neighborhood with a handheld powerwasher to clean the neighbors lawns where she has her Hershey Squirts just out of spite of these motherfcukers!
This has to be the NICEST diss track I have ever heard!!! But we're the envy of the world!!!!
What has been obvious to me for some time is that between the 24% of Americans who are looking for work or make Under 26K a year and the children and the elderly most Americans need some sort of government assistance just to LIVE.
So we either are going to have to force companies to pay people a living wage or provide people more assistance in the form of free healthcare, living assistance, worker rights and consumer rights. Companies that pay people less than a living wage SHOULD be paying the bulk of this expense.
Unfortunately, he is right. The weather apps on my phone has been all over the fucking place lately. Good thing I know a little bit about meteorology to function, but not everybody’s like me.You know it's fcuked up when the weatherman loses hope!
