Over the course of a calendar year ending in May 2025, the United States absorbed nearly $1 trillion in damages due to extreme weather. This amount, representing 3% of U.S. gross domestic product, was driven by rising insurance costs and a series of disasters primarily concentrated in the Ten Across geography, such as Hurricanes Helene and Milton and the fires in Los Angeles.  More than ever before, timely and detailed forecasts are needed to properly prepare—and in some cases to evacuate—communities ahead of such extreme events. Leaders across sectors are further in need of advanced weather modeling to support larger-scale mitigation and adaptation efforts.  The data that influence such public and private decision-making mainly stem from the National Weather Service's six billion daily weather observations. The NWS recently shed 600 of its 4,000 positions, prompting a public warning from five former agency directors that understaffing could undermine the quality and delivery of forecasts, potentially putting many Americans at greater risk.  At the same time, advanced artificial intelligence capabilities are contributing to a trend toward increased commercial ownership of U.S. weather forecasting. However, today's guest, Dr. Amy McGovern, points out that while today's AI can create and curate efficient weather models better than a conventional supercomputer, its monitoring capabilities are not comparable to the collective experience and proficiency of NWS scientists.  Listen in as Ten Across founder Duke Reiter and Dr. McGovern, an expert in the integration of AI in meteorological science, explore the current forecasting landscape and how the emergence of private sector AI-powered modeling is influencing its evolution.  Related articles and resources:  Read about Brightband's Extreme Weather Bench, led by Amy McGovern  NOAA stops tracking cost of extreme weather and climate disasters (UtilityDive, May 2025)  Former Weather Service Leaders Warn Staffing Cuts Could Lead to ‘Loss of Life' (The New York Times, May 2025)  Stabilizing ‘operations,' the National Weather Service hires again after Trump cuts (NPR, June 2025)  Lawmakers revive bipartisan forecasting bill (E&E News by Politico, June 2025)  Credits:Host: Duke Reiter Producer and editor: Taylor Griffith  Music by: Parallax Deep  Research and support provided by: Kate Carefoot, Rae Ulrich, and Sabine Butler  About our guest:  Amy McGovern is the director and principal investigator for the NSF Institute for Research on Trustworthy AI in Weather, Climate, and Coastal Oceanography. She is also a Lloyd G. and Joyce Austin Presidential Professor in the University of Oklahoma's School of Meteorology and leader of the Interaction, Discovery, Exploration, and Adaptation (IDEA) lab, and lead AI and meteorology strategist for the AI-powered customized weather forecasting startup, Brightband.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on a delay of Congressional briefings on Iran.

A top lawmaker is pressing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to immediately reverse his decision to gut the Pentagon's independent weapons testing office. In a letter to Hegseth, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren is demanding documentation justifying the cuts, the office's current oversight list, and how DoD is adhering to the statutory requirement for the office to be independent and whether the office will continue its cyber assessment program, In May, Hegseth instructed the director of operational test and evaluation office to “immediately eliminate any non-statutory” functions of the office, slashing the office's staff by 74% and its budget by nearly 80%. Warren said cutting this deep into the office can violate the law. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Vance Boelter's 45-Person List Minnesota Lawmaker Case EXPOSED Description: Uncover the shocking details of the most extensive political hit list in American history. This explosive investigation reveals how Vance Boelter systematically compiled a death list of 45 Democratic officials across six states, turning political disagreement into a blueprint for mass assassination. The June 14, 2025 attacks that killed State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband were just the beginning of a planned massacre that could have changed American politics forever. This episode exposes the full scope of Boelter's target list, including high-profile names like Governor Tim Walz, U.S. Senator Tina Smith, Representative Ilhan Omar, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and lawmakers from Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Nebraska, and Iowa. We examine the meticulous surveillance notes found in his possession, describing victims' homes, routines, and vulnerabilities in chilling detail. Through exclusive analysis with former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, we explore how Boelter's position on the Minnesota Workforce Development Board gave him insider access, why his targets were specifically chosen, and how his fake police disguise enabled him to strike. The investigation reveals his arsenal of weapons, the 20 SWAT teams involved in his capture, and the federal charges that could result in execution. Most disturbing: evidence suggesting this may not have been a lone wolf attack. Boelter's text about not wanting to "implicate anybody" and his family's attempted flight with passports and cash raise questions about a broader conspiracy. This is the definitive examination of a case that exposed fatal vulnerabilities in how America protects its elected officials. #VanceBoelterHitList #MinnesotaLawmakers #PoliticalTargeting #45Victims #TrueCrimeExposed #DemocraticTargets #FBIInvestigation #DomesticTerrorism #PoliticalViolence #MassShootingPlan #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #ElectedOfficialSafety #ExtremistThreat #PoliticalAssassination
