Are we really going to attack another country in Middle East on pretense of stopping a weapon of mass destruction. This is same playbook used to attack Iraq! Bio weapons then. Nuclear bomb now. Stop this craziness.

This should be easy for President Trump. It’s the same playbook he’s already dismantled in 2016 election. Iraq and Iran. Destroy the weapon of mass destruction. Bio weapon in first. Nuclear bomb in second. Why are we even considering this dangerous joke?.

Never before has the United States confronted an attack on science like the one President Trump launched in January 2025. For the first time in U.S. history, raw ideological menace is blocking federal funding that supports scientific advance.

My prayer is that this moment in our national life produces a figure like Muhammad Ali, capable of surpassing courage and love, a leader who can guide the country away from its contemporary path of menace and incompetence.

Trump’s effort to change the market for straws – like efforts to influence the sale of clean cars or charging stations or solar panels or any of the other equipment intended to make the planet safer – have nothing to do with “symbolism over science.” .

Trump funding block affects some of his key constituencies, farmers among them. Signed contracts for grants under Climate Smart programs, a $3 billion promise from the USDA, have been halted. Even Iowa Soybean Association “contractually owed $11 million.".

Pres. Trump intends to curb wind generation on federal lands, and increase fossil fuel production. A problem for increased carbon from public land. Reverses progress. New USGS study shows carbon emissions declined on public land by nearly 20% since 2005.

Looking for something to cheer: How's this: About 1,000 endangered and threatened sea turtles were rescued late last month from frigid Gulf waters of Florida's Panhandle. After being cared for at the Gulf World Marine Institute the turtles were released.
