NASA scientists will apparently no longer be able to read @nature.com at their jobs, as the Trump administration has canceled all subscriptions to Springer Nature journals, per the agency. (1/3) 🧵
Received one more - this time from NASA

“NASA sent a notification to Springer Nature stating the agency was cancelling its subscriptions. Our engineers and scientists will still have access to NASA mission data shared with their journals, as well as have access to many other scientific journals.”

Trump’s plan to gut the VA will leave thousands of veterans without access to the health care they need, and will devastate an entire workforce.

The Trump admin is operating as if unconstrained by law or courts. As @anthonylfisher.bsky.social argues, that’s different from Trump’s 1st term, which broke some rules but were constrained by others.

We’ve never before seen a White House team act without concern of impeachment or criminal charges.
Opinion | Trump's second administration acts as if there are no rules
This administration hasn't been constrained by the Constitution or the Supreme Court — and no one in America is immune from being targeted.

CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates:

"Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

The approach appears to punish countries based on their trade imbalances with the U.S., rather than the taxes they impose on the U.S. and a combination of other trade barriers Trump claimed the new tariff rates would be based on.
