Bluesky peeps for democracy, we may not recognize our political system/government when this is over. Out of the ashes, what do we rebuild? What does our next political system/parties or fed government look like? Add your ideas. The sky is the limit. Dream big! #America2.0

ICYMI: House released FY26 budget directive doc for science agencies. Rejects elimination of NOAA Research, but moves key weather research programs including phased array radar to NWS. Also directs NOAA to report on the need for a new “extreme weather” federal R&D center. tinyurl.com/5hyvs9fj
