Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

Since the end of the Cold War, democrats have created 50M jobs and republicans have created 1M.
The Republican propaganda that Trump “inherited” a bad economy from Biden and is making it better is the exact opposite of true. The numbers don’t lie and people know what they are experiencing.

President Trump on Steve Witkoff:
Steve's a great dealmaker, but I noticed one thing about him. He had the greatest personality. He was a real estate guy in New York.
He knew less about rivers and meets and bounds in Russia and the various places he's working on. He knew nothing about it.
