The Trump Administration Has Blinded Hurricane Forecasters
The Trump administration is about to make life a lot harder for meteorologists predicting when and where hurricanes are going to hit the United States. Last week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association announced that it would no longer provide information from military satellites that have been relied on heavily to determine a hurricane’s path. The satellites, which orbit the Earth’s poles, use microwaves to look inside the storm, offering experts important data on rapid intensification — the dangerous process of a hurricane growing in speed or size before making landfall, made more frequent by climate change. The change will take effect on July 31, just as the peak of hurricane season begins.

Inside the second — and worse — stage of Trump’s agenda
Trump’s Big Ugly Bill delivers $170 billion for border and immigration enforcement. This is on the scale of supplemental budgets passed by the United States when we enter war. ICE will add 10,000 agents to the 20,000 already on the streets.Its annual budget for detentions will skyrocket from $3.4 billion in the current fiscal year to $45 billion until the end of the 2029 fiscal year. That’s a 365 percent increase. Funding for ICE detentions will exceed funding for the entire federal prison system. When government capacity is built out this way, there’s always political and bureaucratic pressure to utilize such capacity. Supply creates its own demand.

This might be a family member, a friend, or a coworker, someone who has heard the gospel many times, yet has not embraced it. Their bearing toward the gospel can run the spectrum from super friendly to somewhat hostile, but for whatever reason, they still want to be in regular contact with you. Or, in the case of family or coworkers, they are somewhat stuck in a relationship with you.
