I spent twenty years looking out for my neighbors and earning their trust as their meteorologist. My job was never about politics, it was about showing up during a crisis. I’m hopeful we’ll see more trusted local broadcasters choosing to serve in a different way.
Anybody who knows anything about albedo knows that this reflecting pool water will now be about 15-20° hotter than it used to be…becoming an algae cesspool. Fitting for the times we’re in.
Trump ran on a promise to lower your costs. Now, we’ve got the highest inflation we’ve seen in years because of his war in Iran. We’re paying more for gas and groceries while Trump spends our tax dollars on foreign wars.
Team Sorensen is proud to stand with AFSCME Local 1110 in their fight for fair wages and contracts. Union workers are critical to Illinois State University and I will always have their backs.
Donald Trump rails against voting by mail and then votes by mail. Can’t make this stuff up! If you’re a citizen and you’re registered to vote, we need to make it easier to take part in democracy, not harder.
Trump was supposed to lower your costs. Gas has gone above $4/gal and it’s crickets from the administration. And no one wants another forever war in the Middle East. I am fighting to make life livable, while the GOP only fights for the well-off and the well-connected.
The day after big storms, we often never bat an eye how the lights came back on. Today, let’s thank the men and women who are still working tirelessly to repair the damage from last night’s storms. A lot to be thankful for.

Bombing has caused the air to be so polluted with ash, soot, and oil that this is the sky over Tehran, Iran at 8:30 IN THE MORNING. As the only Meteorologist in Congress, no telling the environmental disaster this will cause the world. The war must stop. 📸: @ajenglish.bsky.social
