Hello, El Niño. A lot of sifting through model forecasts here. I explain caveats of long-range model predictions (there are big limitations along the CA coast), but the strong consensus amongst American, Canadian and European models gives merit to predictions of a very wet California winter.
Powerful El Niño puts California in the bull’s-eye for soaking winter, models show
Within the United States, only California, Florida and the Mid-Atlantic have such a strong signal for unusually wet weather.

I mean, Sean Duffy has been busy, getting paid by DOT contractors to drive across the country on a free vacation. DC ATC will have to wait. Trump of all people must recognize Reality TV as a priority. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/u...

Helicopter Carrying Trump Flies Near Passenger Jet in Washington Airspace
Marine One, the helicopter that ferries the president, came within less than a mile of an Envoy Air flight on Tuesday, raising new concerns about air traffic control in the congested area.

Trump: Canada is nasty. They are. They are nasty. The people are nasty. And Mexico.
The FAA says the incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon, when Trump's Marine One helicopter took off from the White House around the same time that a commercial plane took off from nearby Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

is the White House just AI generating lies now how do they come up with so much bullshit so quickly
Genuinely far worse than that. Taxpayers are paying propagandist -- possibly once paid by Dmitry Firtash and DEFINITELY paid by similarly sketchy corrupt oligarchs -- John Solomon to continue his propaganda habit. Then he's posting what taxpayers pay for and posting it on his site.
Trump tells his Nevada audience "Michael Whatley should be your governor" (Michael Whatley is running for U.S. Senate in North Carolina)
Blanche effectively said that if a U.S. attorney is given an order by Trump, as D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro was, they must fall in line regardless of the evidence. trib.al/F0YxnqO
Corey Lewandowski had no official role at DHS. But he personally signed government contracts anyway. Then he lied about it under oath. This is the culture Trump has created: Get close to power. Use it. Cash in.

Oh no, not Alabama. How will we live without Alabama?

$1,300 more on goods because of tariffs. $750 more because of a reckless war. Billions added to the president's net worth. If this were your family budget, you'd call an emergency. We are. Vote for Democrats in 90 days. #BlueWaveIn90Days
When your party leader is a president with historically low approval ratings, who has raised prices through tariffs and wars, uses disaster relief and science grants to punish states that didn’t vote for him, and has agents shooting people in the streets, this is what you do.
The guy talking about how we’re not gonna make it is about to vote to confirm Todd Blanche, protecting Epstein’s co‑conspirators
