Now get on the phone. Go to your Congressional reps' offices and let them have it. This is Russ Vought (director of OMB) and his special and truly weird vendetta and Chris Rufo's mission to drag the USA back to the Stone Age. No one likes this but these sad little men. Get to work.

For clarity, this decision was during the previous Admin. The ruling revolves around timeframes for climate change to impact species. This outcome signals lawsuits make a difference. I don’t like dealing with legal issues at work, but if courts uphold the law then they may be needed, a lot more.

100% this. Rep. DeLauro delivers the most succinct summary of the ways in which RFK Jr. and the Trump White House are breaking the law (Impoundment Control) that I've seen so far.

DeLAURO: Are you planning to break the law by impounding appropriated funds? RFK Jr: If you appropriate the funds, I'm going to spend them D: We have! You're cutting the NIH by $18b. Congress appropriated those funds. How can you justify cutting billions from the biomedical research budget?

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

Our state agency is thinking about backing up federal climate data that we use regularly, but I want to avoid duplicating efforts. Is there a list of sites where federal climate data have been replicated outside of the US federal government?
