Trump just ordered 2 dams opened up in California in an unprecedented move that risks depleting the reservoirs ahead of the dry summer months.

Everyone should be pissed at this. It's your tax dollars that paid for it. Information on all government websites is disappearing. It's the new book burning to rewrite history.
🚨 Data.gov appears to be dropping datasets 🚨
Almost 2,300 datasets have disappeared since Jan 21.
Data scrubbing at this rate is concerning- download and archive what you think you’ll need.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
