Extreme heat continues across the Southwest. Temps may top 120. The heat may expand across the West and south-central US into mid-month. Air quality alerts & red flag warnings are also in place across portions of the West. Exposure to both smoke & heat can be a greater health risk than either alone.

Compounding Hazards: Heat and Wildfires. Exposure to both smoke and extreme heat at the same time can pose a much greater health risk than either one alone. Heat and Smoke Safety Tips: (1) stay indoors: remain in cool, filtered air; (2) limit activity: plan necessary tasks for cooler, cleaner times; (3) hydrate: drink water frequently; (4) mask up: use a well-fitting N95 outdoors; (5) monitor health: if feeling unwell, move indoors and seek help.

Fresh Air had a reminder that the first Black Miss America had to surrender her crown after nude photos were published. First "lady" of the "party of family values" gets to live high on taxpayer dime after the whole world saw her nekkid. (Russian TV constantly shows the pix.)

Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol

Cleaning the coast before high tide is one of the most effective waste-reduction strategies; by directly disrupting the cycle of marine pollution and removing macroplastics, it prevents them from breaking into microplastics and ensures wildlife does not ingest litter.

$800 MILLION. That's how much more Americans are paying every day on gas thanks to Trump's war with Iran. But guess who's getting richer? Chevron CEO: +$104M ConocoPhillips CEO: +$54M Baker Hughes CEO: +$33M The same Big Oil executives Trump promised to deliver for on day one.

As you read about Trump stealing $1.8 billion in our money to pay off terrorists who tried to overthrow the government, consider that 3 million Americans have already lost ACA healthcare coverage & 19 million more are paying thru the nose to keep theirs. charlesgaba.substack.com/p/new-series...

NEW SERIES: How much more are ACA enrollees *really* paying due to Trump/GOP policies this year? (First up: Alabama)

TL;DR version: Even more than you probably already figured.

HUGE NEWS: ICE’s courthouse arrests have been STAYED by a New York district judge. That means that ICE will have to stop arresting our immigrant neighbors on the spot when they show up to court at places like 26 Federal Plaza, 290 Broadway, and 201 Varick. (1/2)

A “fun” thing about the 1776 number is it makes it more clear how much the settlement agreement is corrupt. Todd Blanche signed his name to an official government document claiming this figure was “based on the projected valuation of future claimants’ claims,” which is clearly, obviously, a lie.

Wifire of the Attorneg General Mashington, B. O. 20530 May 18, 2026 A. The Settlement Agreement in Trump: Internal Revenue Service, No. 1:26-cv-20609 (S.D. Fla.). has created the Anti-Weaponization Fund (the "Fund"). The Settlement Agreement directed the Attorney General to issue an order establishing funding and any other relevant requirements for the Fund B. Capitalized terms in this document shall have the same meaning as in the Settlement Agreement. C. Within 60 days of the Effective Date, the United States shall provide the U.S. Department of the Treasury with all necessary forms and documentation to direct a payment of $1,776,000,000 to an account for the sole use by the Anti-Weaponization Fund (Designated Account"). The corpus of the Anti-Weaponization Fund's funding does not represent the value of any claim by Plaintiffs, but rather is based on the projected valuation of future claimants' claims.

Also, the rounding is covering up that it's reportedly a $1.776 billion pot. Because someone thought making it 1776 would be hilarious. 🙄
