I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Meanwhile, here are the weather balloon launches from this morning. The red dots indicate locations that missed the launch today owing to short staffing. The blue dots indicate long-term outages.

NASA is being told to cancel 19 *active* missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE *hiring/retention* budget going forward.
I need people to let that sentence sink into their bones for a minute.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

This article is about State, but the broader point is that the morale is down across the federal government, government contractors, academia, and most of the “knowledge worker” class in this country because of the existential dread looming over them.

These jets are more than $50MILLION each. That could cover a lot of science research that actually has an ROI.

Just received this lovely note from the Dept. of Commerce. Always great hearing DOC say "Look we're forced to do this and say you weren't fired for performance issues and part of a government wide mass termination. But don't worry we think that's wrong and we're gonna fight it tooth and nail."

This episode of Plain English is highly recommended. Three interesting interviews that delve into how the American science endeavor works, and thoughts about how it could be better. Spoiler: destroying the system is not the answer.
