After a team of talented teenage baseball players from Venezuela swept through a qualifying tournament in Mexico last month, it seemed they were bound for the Senior League World Series in the U.S. But the team was denied the visas necessary to attend, Little League Baseball International said.
Venezuelan Youth Baseball Team, Denied Visas, Is Left Out of Tournament in U.S.
The team had apparently been swept up in the severe travel restrictions that President Trump has placed on more than a dozen countries.

There is currently an NWS flash flood warning in effect for all five boroughs of NYC.

But no City agency has posted it on this platform.

Please help spread the word.

To see why destroying the US science enterprise is so detrimental to the world, we have to realize that the US spends more on research and development than any other country in the world (by far), and if we remove China and Japan, the US spends almost as much as ALL other countries combined.

If only some of this had been foreseeable before the election, the WSJ edit page might have been able to warn its readers.
The @WSJ.com editorial board denounces Trump's "hammer blow" of "retaliation" against law firm Perkins Coie:

"It’s one more step toward making the legal system wholly political."
Opinion | Trump, Perkins Coie and John Adams
The President breaks a bedrock legal principle by targeting the law firm for representing clients he doesn’t like.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.

This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.
