How much of the US federal budget is allocated to AmeriCorps?

0.02% of the 13-digit budget goes to AmeriCorps. Every dollar invested turns into over $17 in economic and community benefits.

But we guess DOGE considers that fraud, waste, and abuse.

This is a science 🧪 story about Mount St Helens, and gophers, and how small positive actions can, in time, make a big difference. I thought a few of you might need to hear it this week. (1/x) 🧵

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again

With the Trump administration’s promised mass deportation agenda underway, it is more important than ever to know your rights when engaging with ICE.

I teamed up with ACLU to break down exactly what you should know + remind others of as well.

Good morning. Monday morning. In a rank choice voting system you need to rank five good apples for mayor in addition to NOT ranking Cuomo and NOT ranking Adams.

Please help spread the word! Share share share!!!! Copy and redo in your own words if you prefer!

NEW: New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul is reviving her push to ban masks and is urging New York State lawmakers to include a mask ban in the upcoming state budget.

This move endangers public health and threatens civil liberties.

People might think that whatever destruction is done to science in the US, we can undo in 4 years with a Democratic president and Congress.

The problem is that many areas require specialized knowledge and skills built up over years, and once that's lost, it's hard to get back.
The damage will be far worse than just a 4-yr gap. Both I and the individual who has managed this site for most of the past 50 yrs are retiring within the next 2 years. With this closure, we will not be able to plan a transition.

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

A court ruled the Office of Personnel Management can't "direct" Department heads to fire workers. Now Trump says Musk can't either.

My guess this is all for appearances. Cabinet Secretaries will get the hint-hint/wink-wink. Judges must look behind this fakery. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
