For hundreds of years, humanity has relied on science to improve lives. Science tests hypotheses, uses data, and follows a systematic method in pursuit of the truth. It’s not perfect of course. But destroying American science as we know it will only send us backward.

Agree.
"Modern societies, as Americans are soon to learn, cannot function without experts in every field, especially the many thousands who work in public service," writes @RadioFreeTom.

The American scientific enterprise supported by the federal government is fundamental to progress and protecting life, property and health. It fuels discovery, innovation, jobs, and prosperity. Reach out to Congress and the White House to let them know you support NOAA, NASA, NSF

"NOAA is taxpayer-funded, so it is a public good – its services provide safety and security for everyone, not just those who can pay for it." CIRES' @cwiedinm and Kari Bowen explain @NOAA's role in U.S. weather forecasts in @ConversationUS ⬇️ https://t.co/A2Hu1ihpeb

NOAA operates fleets of satellites, sensors on airplanes and ocean-going buoys, as well as radar, providing the data used by weather forecasters nationwide – and freely available to anyone.

Everyone seems to be framing Trump's freeze on federal grants as a Constitutional fight over powers of the purse & whether presidents can disregard Congressional appropriations. It is that. But also at stake is the fundamental validity of govt contracts! I see much less

I genuinely do not understand the logic of these tariffs. Analysis shows will raise US prices, lower US GDP. What possible strategic benefit could there be? Asking for a friend.
WSJ ed board: "President Trump will fire his first tariff salvo on Saturday against those notorious American adversaries . . . Mexico and Canada. They’ll get hit with a 25% border tax, while China, a real adversary, will endure 10%. This reminds us of the old Bernard Lewis joke

Farmers have long drained peatlands to grow crops, but the dried out soils release vast amounts of carbon dioxide. To halt this process, Germany is not only restoring peatlands but also finding uses for the grasses, reeds, and sedges that grow on them. https://t.co/VhAPyN63Xo

Farmers have long drained peatlands for agriculture, but the dried-out soils release vast quantities of CO2. To halt this process, new initiatives in Germany are not only rewetting peatlands but also...

Batteries start playing a huge role in energy systems around the world. Look at California - not long ago you wouldn’t even be able to see the contribution from batteries. Today batteries can provide more than 20% of peak load in California.

The military did not enter California. The federal government restarted federal water pumps after they were offline for maintenance for three days. State water supplies in Southern California remain plentiful.

Cancer research halted by the administration. How is this possibly helping Americans? This is a critical time for cancer research. Progress matters to save lives.

This is terrible management from an administration who is supposedly business savvy. Will undercut progress of American research, life-saving discoveries and repairs to critical infrastructure. Among so many other things.

The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

Not only fireable, but then fillable with cronies. Welcome back to the 19th century.
BREAKING: New Schedule F guidance is out. Note the catch all that allows OPM to make the final call. This would allow Trump to determine that any job is a policy making job and can be fired at will. https://t.co/8RSuFfAH2g

As legislators representing Greenland in Denmark and the United States, we see a better path forward. The future will be defined by partnership, not ownership. To ensure our alliance reaches its full potential, Americans must view Greenland as an ally, not an asset.
