Have to recommend this one. Watched it a while back and was so inspired. If you’ve got a moment, it’s worth your time.

NSF is undergoing a massive shake-up: over 80 senior staff cut, remote work banned, the equity-in-STEM division eliminated, and hundreds of research grants scrapped.
This isn’t budget efficiency—it’s a direct attack on U.S. science, education, and equity.

Update: the Trump administration has proposed cutting the National Park System by $900 million, about one third of its budget.
Please read/share if you love your national parks!
New from @pamherd.bsky.social & me: A DOGEr is now running the National Park Service.
They were already short of employees to manage record crowds. DOGE has cut 13% and wants to cut 30%.

Senate Republicans voted to kill an EPA rule limiting the seven most hazardous air pollutants emitted by chemical plants and other industrial facilities.
Inhaling even small amounts of these pollutants can cause brain damage and cancer.

This isn't hypothetical.
The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

The GOOD thing about the excessive number of parking lots in North American cities is that they have incredible repurposing potential.

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program.
Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs.
Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them.
See how this works?

In Trump's America, the one thing you can count on is a potential market meltdown every 90 days.
Ask yourself: what CEO, business, or trading partner in their right mind is going to ever invest in America when a psychopath tries to blow up the economy every 90 days?

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.
I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

I just learned that the entire press team at the FDA was fired last week. The *entire* press team.
It's difficult to grasp how bizarre this is.
To wrap my brain around the idea, I made a list of things the FDA is responsible for, and that reporters now have no one at the agency to ask about... 🧪🛟

Yup. It’s absurd to think lots of foreign firms are going to sink millions into building manufacturing plants in the U.S., which will take years, just to avoid tariffs that will be gone as soon as someone sane is in the White House.
1/ I'm sure someone has already pointed this out, but one additional thing about the tariffs being done unilaterally by the president: They can be (and almost certainly will be) reversed by the next Democratic president.
