Here is better video to give you an idea of just how many hundred of people are on the streets of Bucks County, PA to protest what Musk, Trump and DOGE (and the spineless Republicans who enable them) are doing to dismantle the services our communities depend on. Thanks to all the participants.

Please enjoy my last ever post at Climate.gov/ENSO Blog. This afternoon I was fired by the Trump Administration 15 days before my 2yr probationary period ended on March 13. I have worked at NOAA since 2010, and I'm so incredibly proud of the work I did. If anyone wants a quote, let me know.

Predicting El Niño and La Niña is tough, but new research analyzing 20+ years of forecasts finds dynamical models outperform statistical ones, especially for El Niño. La Niña onset? That's been much harder. Read more in our new ENSO blog post! www.climate.gov/news-feature...

Breaking: Trump just admitted Americans could feel the pain of his Trump tariffs, saying, in part: "THERE BE SOME PAIN? YES, MAYBE (AND MAYBE NOT!). BUT WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, AND IT WILL ALL BE WORTH THE PRICE THAT MUST BE PAID."

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

Three Wins Today (Feb 1, 2025) 1. Hundreds of students at ASU held a pro immigration protest in response to right wing students learning how to help ICE 2. Costco and Teamsters reached an 11th hour tentative deal, so there will be no strike 1/2

I do not recall a 24 hour or one week news cycle with more disturbing news about the state of the presidency and the US government in it than those of today and the past seven days. January 6 was nothing compared to this. But make no mistake, this too is the gov't being torn apart by a mob of thugs.

To those flabbergasted & shocked by this week, please remember our country won't change until millions of apathetic people feel what you're feeling right now. It will take TIME. Don't lose yourself in the interim. Find ways to feel safe, feel joy, love a lot. Build a stoic calm amidst the chaos. 🕊
