‼️ ALERT. The Trump Administration is dismantling NASA’s Goddard Library and destroying irreplaceable archives. While Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Jared Isaacman talk about Mars, Russ Vought pushes deep cuts to NASA Science. You do not reach Mars by burning knowledge.

This is really our only hope. Criminals will keep criming. In the day when accountability comes back, there will be new crimes to charge and convict. And they will likely be worse than the first, since the pardons and commutations have emboldened them.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Since European colonization, North America has lost 9–11 billion birds.
• ~5–6 billion before 1940
• ~1–2 billion from 1940–1970
• ~2.9 billion since 1970
The quiet collapse of abundance is how the Sixth Mass Extinction is playing out: fewer wings, fewer songs.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇
