This is insane, shameful, ominous, terrible, anti-science, and promoting human ignorance to do this to NOAA. Trump’s fossil fuel industry buddies and donors getting their way to try to make humankind less aware of what we are doing to the planet and ourselves.

Claim 2: False, because “malicious prosecution” is a thing courts remedy.

Claim 3: Yes, but judges decide what’s “legitimate” and limit executive action all the time.

Per @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social:

President Trump has rescinded former President Biden’s Executive Order that created a task force to reunite families deliberately separated at the border by Trump.

As many as 1,000 families remain separated because of that policy.
