Unfortunately, the Cape is back into a Level 2 Significant Drought.
What does this mean?
No watering with irrigation systems (sprinklers).
Drip irrigation systems are ok and/or hand watering only after 5pm or before 9am.

$1000 per DAY (>$300K/yr)- this is the proposed tax cut for the top 0.1% of earners making more than $5M/yr. Cut the cuts and you can balance the budget AND still pay for medicaid, food programs, climate security, education, scientific and medical advances.

The billionaire class is stepping back from their commitments to fight climate change. Latest $100M XPrize for climate was launched to much fanfare. Now its crickets. “Musk sold himself out, and I think that’s reprehensible,” said Wil Burns

Elon Musk bankrolled a $100M climate contest. Now it's ‘tainted.’
The billionaire funded an XPrize for carbon removal. But he won't be at the ceremony announcing the winner Wednesday.

Indirect costs are essential and are negotiated for all science funding.
Sort of like saying you will pay your mortgage, but no longer your heat, electric, tax bills or make any repairs. One quick way to loose your house (and here🧪, cripple science)

We are alarmed by the Administration’s actions to freeze science funding and eliminate DEI efforts and climate change initiatives, which go against AGU’s mission and harms our members. We must unite to address these changes, beginning by hearing from you.

Wonder what the Senate Commerce, Science & Transportation Committee considers questionable projects being funded at NSF. This word cloud is from the last 71 Environmental Justice words from a list of more than 2000 in their report. I think you will recognize why so many scientists are concerned.

So all the other reindeer who won’t let Rudolph join in the reindeer games are Republicans, right? They make fun of him until he is of some use to them. Sounds about right.
