This is a terrible hit in a series of terrible hits to journalism. And as others have noted, for those of us in/around DC this is our local. It’s amazing to see how many (really phenomenal) local news outlets are growing in its absence, but this sucks nonetheless.

The full report is split into 5 sections. Sit down with it, share it with colleagues and policymakers, and keep an eye out for what's likely next in 2026.

If you’re frustrated with national news coverage and like podcasts, let me rec the City Cast extended universe.
In addition to DC I tune into Chicago, Portland, Twin Cities—TC had great segments today on local restaurants handling ICE and the mass resignation at the MN US atty office.

There is a lot to be unhappy about right now, and I sure am, but my current sadness is because they changed the title from Three Bags Full to The Sheep Detectives for the movie.

So sad to miss #AGU25 … especially right now. But very glad colleagues like Laura (and 6ish others from across NSF/GEO + BIO!) are there!
I’m here at #AGU25! Looking forward to connecting with the research community and talking science. Looking for the NSF booth? Out of necessity we’ve gone mobile! See you out there…
