One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.
When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

We need to focus more broadly than events in the White House. The entire GOP is working to give our Federal lands to private interests. Eliminating Federal land jobs will discourage public visitors. Extractive industries will do permanent damage. We must stop the privatization of our land.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.
Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

If judges and Congress are just ignored, sooner or later, someone is going to have to lay hands on Trump and his oligarch crew and lead them away in handcuffs. It has to happen sooner or later. Sooner is much better. #3E
