How Trump is using the 'Madman Theory' to try to change the world

Special Sensor Microwave Imager Sounder, or SSMIS, rides on a series of satellites and allows forecasters to see a storm’s structure,
which might otherwise be invisible.
The Hurricane Hunter planes that fly into storms can be used to generate three-dimensional storm images, but the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which is responsible for hurricane forecasting, has only two of those aircraft.
They can’t be everywhere at once.
✅ With the SSMIS, forecasters had an autonomous, powerful eye in the sky.
🆘 But now the Department of Defense says it will cease processing and distributing the crucial imagery from this sensor at the end of this month.
Losing these views threatens the National Hurricane Center’s ability to forecast severe storms

I wonder how much input there is from Eunha regarding her styling. Presumably she is such a well established idol she can veto things she hates.

The image features a person on stage, dressed in a striking red and black outfit with intricate details. The outfit includes a corset-style top with lace and gold accents, complemented by matching shorts. The person is wearing a black choker with gold embellishments and a microphone headset. They have blonde hair styled in loose waves and are striking a dynamic pose with one arm raised high. The background is blurred, with soft, warm lighting that suggests a concert or performance setting. The overall atmosphere is dramatic and energetic, capturing a moment of performance.
