Trump's budget plan includes a record $1 trillion in military spending. At the same time, he wants to cut $163 billion in housing, education, healthcare, climate, and labor programs to pay for tax cuts that will mostly go to the rich. "Fiscal responsibility."

As much as we love spring flowers, I am fascinated by the unfolding of spring leaves. Here are four understory trees capturing early spring light. The way they display themselves for maximum sunlight interception is fascinating. What spring leaves do you find most attractive?

In between the stories of horrific human rights abuses and trade war insanity I remember that they have also destroyed all our research and data infrastructure and effectively ended any environmental, health, or labor regulation.
