Thank you veravera. š
Congrats CarolMae :)
Thank you NW for assembling another excellent selection of highly relevant tweets. You are doing a fantastic job keeping TOD humming!!!!

Long day for you.
Thank you very much, Bob.

Beautiful photos LP. Thanks for sharing. My favorite was the Grant Atkinson photo with the lion and his cub.
Awesome reporting!
Sorry I misspelled your name.
I actually loved it. Truth to truth is my interpretation.
Great! Lemons to lemonade. ;-)

Yes, Mr. President, We Remade Our Atlas to Reflect Shrinking Ice: While discussing his new plan to combat global warming, the President referenced one of the most striking shifts in the history of National Geographic maps.
āUnveiling his most aggressive plan yet to combat climate change, President Obama on Monday referenced recent dramatic changes that National Geographic made to its atlas because of melting sea ice. āShrinking ice caps forced National Geographic to make the biggest change in its atlas since the Soviet Union broke apart,ā Obama said during a speech at the White House. Heās right. The shrinking of the Arctic ice sheet in the 10th edition of the National Geographic Atlas of the World is one of the most striking changes in the publicationās history. After the publication of the atlas in September 2014, the ice has melted even further, notes National Geographic Geographer Juan JosĆ© ValdĆ©s. āThe end of Arctic summer is still several weeks away, and itās still too early to say if another record will be broken. But one need only look at the maps derived from satellite imagery to see the impact of global warming,ā he says. Obama on Monday released the final rule of his so-called Clean Power Plan, which aims to address climate change by reducing heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions from power plants.
As the ocean heats up due to global warming, Arctic sea ice has been locked in a downward spiral. Since the late 1970s, the ice has retreated by 12 percent per decade, worsening after 2007, according to NASA. May 2014 represented the third lowest extent of sea ice during that month in the satellite record, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). Ice loss is accelerated in the Arctic because of a phenomenon known as the feedback loop: Thin ice is less reflective than thick ice, allowing more sunlight to be absorbed by the ocean, which in turn weakens the ice and warms the ocean even more, NASA says. Because thinner ice is flatter, it allows melt ponds to accumulate on the surface, reducing the reflectiveness of the ice and absorbing more heat. (See pictures of our melting world in National Geographic magazine.)
āYou hear reports all the time in the media about this,ā ValdĆ©s said. āUntil you have a hard-copy map in your hand, the message doesnāt really hit homeā¦continuedā
Thanks for keeping the spotlight on these tweets, NW.
Youāre welcome, sjterrid.
embedded tweet:
There are five other countries who are satisfied with that deal, and they will not be going back to get a better deal. it is Bibi, the Republicans and Schumer who is not satisfied. Beside what is the better deal Schumer is trying to get for Netanyahu.
I canāt even stand to look at Schumer.
JOB, this is the tweet of the night and the one that I hope Schumer himself gets to see. New York deserves a senator who puts the US first before any other country and they donāt have that in Chuck Schumer. Schumer needs a primary challenger because no one is “owed” a senate seat, no matter how many times theyāve been re-elected. He thinks he can get away with any kind of nonsense and he has to be shown that that attitude doesnāt cut it anymore.
Thanks, jackieG and I agree totally. When I think of Schumer and the rest who think they can get away with any kind of nonsense, Iām reminded of the quote, “A man all wrapped up in himself makes a small package.”
^10!!!
Maybe the dudes @TheHill will take time to read those two articles ;)
Oooh good for him!
Thanks Bob
This reply is for Tpizi tweet but all these other tweets got in between my original reply
Understood :)
Thanks Bobš
Congrats CarolMaeWY on your Golden :star:
Excellent Tweets, NW.
Thanks Nena! I got lucky!

OK Sen Dems, this is how you do it…….Sen Schumer canāt be promoted to the Minority or the Majority Leader in 2017.

Good evening Nerdy & TOD!
Iām playing catch-up as usual. Excellent posts - excellent tweets - thanks NW for your legendary work here :)
Thanks, HF.
Nerdy, the tweets you selected tonight are profoundly moving. They show people rising up and gaining strength and they are powerful reminders that nothing changes until we collectively stand up and say, “NO, we will not accept this anymore.” The Black Lives Matter movement is one of the most important in this century. Itās waking people up and giving them the courage to fight back. Many of us-wrapped up in our lives and everyday pressures-would miss all thatās happening if it werenāt for your relentless efforts to keep us informed. I greatly admire what you do here and I donāt take for granted how much you give to us on a daily basis.
Thank you so very much, Jackie and thank you for your profound commentary.
OOOps…I guess thatās means itās over for Lilā Rickie…
Heās a pig…and they love him.
Trump pleases the base because they are like him loud mouth racists.
New post.
