Schodack, NY, near Albany has received over 11" of rain IN THE PAST 24 HOURS. This is a record since the establishment of Mesonet, and frickin' mind-blowing. It's also at least the 3rd time in the last 10 days that a location in Upstate NY has received over 5" of rain. nysmesonet.org/weather/maps...

Republican North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis is right that Congress decides how taxpayer dollars are spent — not the president. And your money shouldn’t go to people convicted of assaulting law enforcement and the Capitol on January 6th.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org
There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding
The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.
