The front of Greenland's NE ice stream has shattered – it will funnel the interior ice to the ocean.
Bad bad news for you and me. Be kind to each other. Satellite imagery from the European Space Agencies Copernicus has revealed that the front of Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden glacier in NE Greenland has disintegrated. Greenland has experienced a rapid temperature rise in the atmosphere by 5.5 Fahrenheit since 1980. Mind-blowing melting has occurred in 2019 and 2020…
Trump ignores Nevada COVID rules limiting gatherings to 50 because “the world is over if Biden wins”
More Trump lies as he puts two days into Nevada. Trump claims there were "tens of thousands of people on the streets" lining his motorcade route to the rally tonight. That's a lie. I was in the motorcade. There were onlookers at different points on the 45-minute drive. But not tens of thousands. Not even…
a house is not a home and a simulation is not an election at 538, but the odds still favor Biden
This 538 analysis does explain the strange Trump tactical moves to Nevada and Minnesota, as they see their secondary targets instead of their main swing state targets. We can count on the race tightening and the margins are closer in the swing states. We’ve moved past Labor Day and into the home stretch of the 2020…
Prosecutor looking into the origins of Russia probe resigns and DHS whistleblower adds evidence
Trump Russia continues, as IMPOTUS* covers for Russia, and DHS & DoJ defections continue in the assessment of 2016 and 2020 Russian actions.

'anyone supporting Trump is ignorant or deeply cynical & willfully destroying our democracy'
We need a more hinged POTUS, as Trump is now mongering actual violence rather than fear from the White House. Scorched earth on the path to the bunker is continuing.

it may be too late to stop election interference
We’re now past the point in 2016 where PBO got derailed by McConnell on election interference from Russia.

Trump and his dunce of a son have a new Biden conspiracy theory — he's on DRUGS!
Whenever Donald Trump sits down with Judge Jeanine Pirro, I worry they’ll collapse into a cray-cray singularity from which neither light nor rational thought can escape. This was no exception: x “I think there's probably, possibly drugs involved. That's what I hear.” — during interview with Judge Jeanine, Trump casually accuses Joe Biden of using…

But I'm the “cheerleader for America” Trump.
Trump continues to dig the hole deeper. Expect some stunts that attempt to divert attention from the current news cycle in the coming week.

Trump and Kim love notes: 'deep special friendship between us will work as a magical force'
Killing one’s half-brother using a reality-TV pretext to deliver VX neurotoxin and killing one’s uncle with multiple anti-aircraft guns makes for graphic accounts worthy of stories for Trump. Magical Force indeed. “Kim describes the bond between the two leaders as out of a ‘fantasy film’, as the two leaders engage in an extraordinary diplomatic minuet”. WASHINGTON…
