Ultimately, Donald Trump will be undone by his lies. But will that be enough to save America. Because the past six months have revealed that we face a much bigger problem--a nationwide failure of leadership in many of our most important institutions. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-is-the...
Trump Is the Icarus of Lies. Has He Flown Too Close to the Sun?
Even if he’s melting down, though, we’ve got bigger problems to worry about.

American Scientific Leadership Wobbles under Trump Attack
MAGA, and all authoritarians, hate scientists, because science reveals natural laws and physics that cannot be overruled or intimidated by an Executive Order, or a tweet, and are often inconvenient…

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long.
Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

El Niño ("the Christ child") gets its name from its typical arrival around Christmas time. It peaked roughly a year ago. The tropical Pacific now looks much more like the flip-side "La Nina" state, and global sea surface temperatures are 0.3-0.4C cooler.
