NSF today just archived it's primary program that funded paleoclimate research for US Climate Scientists. Scientists are encouraged to submit their projects to other calls instead. Competition for limited funds is sure to increase dramatically. 🧪

I wanted to take a second to bring awareness to the children in foster care during this time.
We can all disagree politically, but there are children in this world, foster care or not, who are forced to "live" in what most would consider to be unlivable conditions.
We must protect these kids.

Trump wants to replace income taxes (which the wealthy pay more of) with tariffs (which working people pay more of).
The last time we did this was the Gilded Age—he literally wants to bring back the era of greatest wealth inequality in US history.

Trump: "In 1913 they traded to the income tax system. We used to be all tariff. And we had no income tax and we had the wealthiest country we ever had proportionately from about 1870 to 1913. We had more money than anybody."
