3 pages of disasters here covering the last 10 days, including major cuts to NOAA, NASA, NSF, DOE, etc. and Executive orders. I will update this in coming weeks if I can keep up. Any institutions doing this already in a more comprehensive way (I don’t need to do my own if someone already doing one)
