  WE DEPEND ON A FULLY STAFFED, FUNCTIONAL NATIONAL WEATHER  SERVICE TO MAKE DECISIONS.....IT PROTECTS LIVES! There is a storm coming and it could get really bad… ⛈️☔ Donald Trump has left the  National Weather Service  extremely short-handed due to last year’s staff cuts, just as we approach a brutal storm season. We are seeing the direct consequences of those cuts right now. These jobs are meant for public servants who are dedicated to keeping us safe, but it's clear Trump just doesn’t care. Let’s face it: our federal workers and their families have faced the brunt of Trump’s attacks ever since his first day in office. He has purged scientists, biologists, chemists, and climate experts — especially targeting anyone who acknowledges the reality of climate change. Those who survived the layoffs are now left with the extraordinary burden of filling the gaps while navigating the chaos and systemic problems left behind. Public service is often a thankless job. We must d...

  Ann Wagner can’t use a gerrymander to escape her economic record.   Inflation is outpacing wages for the first time in three years. Gas prices are at a four-year high.   It shouldn’t take working families multiple full-time jobs and sacrifices just to make ends meet in America.   Yet “Hands off Ann” is choosing to stay silent while her decisions hurt Missouri families.   During my time in the Army, I learned to be transparent and accountable to the people I serve. The spineless, corrupt politicians like Ann Wagner who rubber-stamped Trump’s failed economic agenda don’t want to face such accountability.   So they’re now redrawing states like ours to ensure they can hold a permanent House majority and  silence   your voice . They think that friendlier districts can shield them from the damage they have caused.   But friendly districts can’t save Ann.   We’re running a grassroots campaign never before seen in Missouri’s Second Congression...

    Watch now   The Arctic Ocean: The Next Global Battleground | Meidas Defense Former Pentagon Arctic advisor Iris Ferguson explains how melting ice is turning the Arctic into the next great battleground for global trade and security. MeidasTouch Network  and  Joe Plenzler May 15 By Joe Plenzler With the world focused on the strategic maritime chokepoint of the Strait of Hormuz—where 20% of the world’s oil capacity and 30% of internationally traded fertilizer are currently bottled up—what people aren’t watching is what’s happening in the Arctic Ocean. As global warming increases and the polar ice caps melt, the Arctic Ocean—once largely unnavigable—is becoming increasingly open to maritime transit and resource extraction. Russia, Canada, the United States, China and others are scrambling to establish dominance in the region. Will the Arctic become the next strategic tollbooth for maritime trade? Meidas+ is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts an...

  SHARED FOR INFORMATION AND EDUCATION ABOUT RACIST REPUBLICAN  TACTICS IN TENNESSEE TO DISENFRANCHISE BLACK VOTERS.  YOU MAY REMEMBER THE HEROIC ACTIONS OF JUSTIN J. PEARSON AND  REPUBLICAN TACTICS INTENDED TO SILENCE HIM..... REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED STATES LAG BEHIND THE NATION DUE TO  FAILED REPUBLICAN POLICIES AND CONTINUED RACISM.   This just in: Today’s news means that as of now,   I’m the  leading  Democrat in the running to represent TN-09. But our work is far from over. Republicans are still pushing their new, racist maps that would carve up our communities and steal our People’s chances of electing a representative of their choosing — and if we’re going to win the future we deserve, we have to fight back with everything we can. We’re building a grassroots Movement to fight for a better, more just future and could use your help.  The truth is this: folks in our community are ready to turn the page. Our community wants someone...
