Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

One reason to tolerate the deal
Inside CNN, staffers are breathing a sigh of relief after Netflix outmaneuvered Paramount in the WBD auction—meaning they're spared Bari Weiss' editorial control, for now.

One staffer described it to @nataliekorach.bsky.social as “a release of pent-up anxiety.”
