I never really understood why people that claim to be "neutral" get so pressed when you ask about their thoughts on the topic. Like dawg, if I ask you if Nazis are bad, and you shrug, I'm going to fucking think you're a Nazi dude

Remember:

🪐 NASA is a climate agency.

🐟 NOAA is a climate agency.

The layoffs of thousands of government workers are likely to expand — possibly as soon as today — to two key climate science and extreme weather agencies: NOAA and NASA.
NOAA, NASA brace for major job cuts
Both agencies do considerable climate research.

Every former Biden official I’ve spoken to told me that gutting NOAA will help dismantle America’s offshore wind sector.
What we'd lose without a functioning NOAA & EPA:
- Good weather forecasts
- Solid air quality monitoring
- Reliable hurricane forecasting
- Efficient permitting for offshore wind
Attacking NOAA and the EPA: Can They Do That?
The Trump administration has taken aim at NOAA and the EPA. We're ready to fight back.

We fact check @biographic.bsky.social, non-profit environmental #journalism at its finest. For a long form article I wrote about invasive pink salmon in Norway, I had 110 footnotes. All checked by an independent fact checker. Sign up for our newsletter! 🦑🧪 #conservation
Remember, folks, newsrooms have been gutted all over the place. All the usual caveats about caution around breaking news apply doubly nowadays, even from reputable outfits

This is a good explainer, and the reason to understand it is because calling your Senators is much more effective if you have an "ask" that they can actually do.
Today's item: I ran through the options available to Senate Democrats on cabinet nominations and what they're actually doing. No, there's no magic button they're neglecting. (And seriously no, Tuberville didn't come up with one). goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/confirming...

Blaming Ukraine for being brutally invaded by Russia. Putin is really getting his money’s worth.
FOX: How would you guard against Russia installing a puppet government in Ukraine?

TRUMP: You have leadership now that's allowed a war to go on that should've never ever happened, even without the United States

Fellow Mammalogists.

As many of you are aware, science is in a state of turmoil in the United States. Recent efforts to drastically reduce government workforces and research funding for science will lead to many adverse consequences for Earth’s remaining natural ecosystems.

Trump on Ukraine:

"I think I have the power to end this war. And I think it's going very well. But today I heard, 'Oh well we weren't invited.' Well you've been there for three years. You should have ended it three years. You should've never started it. You could've made a deal"

repeating myself a bit here but trump can issue an executive order but that doesn’t necessarily mean shit if it doesn’t have a firm statutory basis. if congress lays out in law what the duties of a particular official are, then no, the president can’t decide those duties are something else
Trump official announces that Trump has signed an executive order claiming that only the president can speak for “what the law is”

(This is not how the Constitution works)

Privacy advocates have long resisted attempts by governments and corporations to collect and store citizens' personal data. This is the reason. To prevent authoritarian, unaccountable, secret police from knowing everything about our lives and using our data against us.
New from 404 Media: a Musk ally has demanded administrative access to Notify.gov, a system that lets the government text the public. The access would give them large swathes of the publics' personal data too. A worker has resigned in protest rather than give access www.404media.co/musk-ally-de...

This is a move corpos pull all the damn time, they set up a bunch of their lawyers up to defend the company as a whole, listing them as "John Doe", and because the court doesnt actually know who they're charging the cases can last years, if they don't just get dismissed right off the bat.

Planes are crashing because Trump and Musk wanted to cut their own taxes even more.

Say it over and over and over again until it sinks into people's brains and they correctly associate every crash with two billionaires who never fly commercial.
“There are currently four people remaining over there to do the work of 15 people. The danger to the national airspace can’t be understated."

"This is a very real threat to the American flying public.”
