Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

🎉 The #SeqCode has reached a significant milestone: with the validation of the genus Skiveiella, a total of 1,000 #names have now been validly published under the SeqCode. This achievement marks a major step forward in the adoption and impact of the SeqCode within the scientific community.

I think we need to keep repeating this point —that decisions by this admin, by the EPA Secretary confirmed by our Senators, by DOGE as Nick Begich III & Dan Sullivan enthusiastically cheered it on —directly impacted Kipnuk’s destruction. Alaskans need to see that politics affect homes, bodies, lives

"The E.P.A. grant was intended to fund Kipnuk’s river stabilization project for three years. Planning, design & some construction were supposed to happen between June and September, when the river would have thawed enough for barges to bring supplies to the village." It was cancelled last spring 🫠

NEW WIRED led the way in reporting on Elon Musk's efforts to dismantle the US government. My colleagues and I spoke to 100s of employees at dozens of agencies to understand what happened. This is the definitive story of DOGE as told by those who experienced it www.wired.com/story/oral-h...

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

This is happening *now* in the 2025 fiscal year. We have no guarantee that if Congress does not pass the severe budget cuts the administration wants that the administration simply won't fund things.

“This year the NSF has awarded only $32 million, representing a 72 percent reduction. By this metric, mathematics is one of the most deeply affected subjects, second only to physics, which has seen an 85 percent reduction.“

DO NOT GIVE UP! Our advocacy is working. A key Senate committee has indicated that it will reject Trump’s proposed cuts to science agencies including NASA and the NSF. Keep speaking up and calling your electeds 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Nature: US senators poised to reject Trump’s proposed massive science cuts Committee gives first hint that policymakers might preserve, rather than slash, funding for US National Science Foundation and other agencies.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
