Trump is closing all four climate observatory stations in Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, and Antartica. Because you can't have high CO2 levels if you don't *measure* CO2 levels.

FYI: The reason you have to pay for school supplies is because GOP-dominated states have defunded public schools. Your taxes are going to pay for tax cuts to the wealthy, while your local school has to beg for supplies.

Before the charm quark was discovered in bound states, it was predicted via indirect effects. An early success story of the electroweak model and QFT!

The purpose of these fellowships is to “ensure the quality, vitality, and strength of the scientific and engineering workforce of the United States”.

"Deported a 2-year-old" is the kind of phrase that can sour people on this issue. The huge swings on public opinion depend entirely on where the focus is.

NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country.
