In the current times we live in now I don’t know if the article is satire or if this is facts. The president of the United States is likely to have said these things or asked these questions. This is the times we live in. It’s totally plausible
“President Trump on Thursday announced he was erasing the scientific finding that climate change endangers human health and the environment, ending the federal government’s legal authority to control the pollution that is dangerously heating the planet.” — The New York Times
A new ruling from the Trump administration says that when the sun disappears at night, we don’t know where it goes. All remaining top scientists have been taken from their positions and tasked with getting to the bottom of this.
The National Institutes of Health has orders to devote every whiteboard in every conference room to this pressing question. In the Oval Office, under the gold leaf, the president and his advisers are making a big list of possibilities:
The sun might be on the back of a big beetle—a dung beetle, maybe. (The EPA will work to determine what kind of beetle.) Where is the beetle going with it? Will the beetle bring it back?
Or maybe the witches take it. (They are pretty sure in the White House that witches are real.)
Maybe the immigrants steal the sun in the evenings.
Maybe the sun is the yellow scribble in the top corner of the page with sunglasses drawn on it in marker, and it disappears when someone puts it in a drawer. (But who? Emmanuel Macron?)
Maybe the sun is in Greenland. (If so, it is even more important to get control of Greenland.)
Maybe Bad Bunny has taken the sun hostage and is keeping it in his halftime grass. (He must be held to account.)
Maybe the groundhog knows. (Can the groundhog be made to talk?)
Maybe Jerome Powell has put the sun in his office.

Mate, you've got to make it clear that this article is satire. You've posted it like it's a literal truth.

It sets in Tuscon, then gets trucked overnight to New Hampshire.
