This just in—more images of Earth from Artemis II! 🤩 This view from @astro_reid shows the divide between night and day, also known as the terminator, as seen from the Orion capsule.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

Interesting study by Cameron Masiello at NC State looking at how winds decay inland in landfalling TCs. Check out that exponential dropoff in the first few minutes as the parcels move inland. Nice illustration of why, along with sparseness of observations, that wind measurements often seem "low" in landfalling systems. #AMS37Hurr

Artemis II is headed for the moon! GOES-19 caught this amazing view of the exhaust plume from the rocket as it launched from Cape Canaveral.

Here’s another view. Unapologetically. Cannot get enough.

The government is circumventing the Constitution and trampling your rights by purchasing your personal info from third party companies, rather than seeking a warrant. It's time for Congress to stop this mass surveillance. Email your representatives now: bit.ly/41ribno

Scoop: The House will NOT vote next week on a FISA extension, as GOP leaders had hoped GOP leaders are pushing the vote instead to the week of April 14 and will work with GOP hardliners still opposed to the clean extension and warrantless surveillance over the upcoming recess. The FISA reauthorization deadline is April 20 and this leaves barely any time for the Senate to act. text subscribers got this first

This year, we've been shining a light on corruption and abuse of power through our investigations. Check out a thread of some of our most recent work⬇️

Just in time for #SunshineWeek, a major new investigation bringing the truth to light: A declassified report from 2021 shows the NSA broke key rules limiting the government's ability to conduct warrantless searches of Americans’ electronic communications. pogo.org/investigates/d…

Since it's @SunshineWeek I should also note that we obtained this declassified watchdog report via FOIA lawsuit.
