Direct losses from Israel's genocidal war on Gaza have exceeded $80 billion across 15 vital sectors, according to the territory's Government Media Office, as widespread destruction and restrictions on aid continue to deepen the humanitarian crisis.

My interview with Times Radio in the UK, aired this morning, on the Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia. We talk about the Houthis' objectives, why Saudi Arabia fails to defend itself against Houthis attacks, and what the US might do.

Everything about the raid on Rep. Omar’s residence is shameful. Everyone involved should lose their jobs. For a start.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Biden was willing to destroy the entire system of international law to protect Israel. Trump does it on general principles of hating the idea of any kind of law.

Trump is raising electricity costs by blocking low-cost clean energy, forcing grids to meet demand with high-cost fossil fuel units. Sucks for you; but Trump’s corrupt big fossil fuel donors make a bundle.

In MBH99, we stated the "1998 [was] the warmest year, at moderately high levels of confidence". That was based on a continuous record of annual mean temperatures & careful estimates of the uncertainty in the annual values. We're not yet close to having that for El Niño for the past thousand years.
