Supporting the Orange felon’s knee-capping of science is suicidal.
As the world struggles to respond to a global climate emergency, the US is defunding climate research.
BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency.

Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

At 3C of global warming: “No more mortgages, no new real estate development, no long-term investment, no financial stability. The financial sector as we know it ceases to function. And with it, capitalism as we know it ceases to be viable.” Pretty sobering, and the threshold may be lower than 3C.
Climate risk “is a systemic risk that threatens the very foundation of the financial sector. If insurance is no longer available, other financial services become unavailable too.”

This is a very important point. Breathlessly vague headlines and summaries of these executive orders created for the executive powers it does not have. This kind of press contributed to authoritarian regime change.
It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Musk is now way over $20 million deep into his attempt to buy Wisconsin's Supreme Court. The direct effects of Wisconsin's majority will be enormous. But there's now another huge question at play: can Musk buy whatever election he wants? If Crawford wins, his perceived political power collapses.
