Let's try and keep this apolitical.
In a locked thread this article was referred to,

There seemed to be some confusion as to the cause of the compression or pinching of the Earth's magnetic field wrt to the solar wind.
Well, NASA has this video which explains that the Earth's magnetic field oscillates in similar fashion to a drum head, that is it can expand outward and pinch inwards as detected by space satellites:

Had the NASA intern consulted or referred to this NASA video it would seem there is no mystery.
Prior research needs to emphasized in the scientific curriculum.
