The Administration's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released a proposed rule that threatens to reshape how scientific research is funded and conducted in the U.S. We encourage our AGU community to speak up submit your comment by 13 July: spklr.io/63328EPEn2

Our analysis shows striking similarities among measles viruses sampled across multiple states, signaling how hard it will be for the U.S. government to defend its “measles-free” designation. By @natlash.bsky.social and @sheinvestigates.bsky.social

What ProPublica Found in the Genetic Code of America’s Measles Outbreaks — ProPublica

The U.S. eliminated measles a quarter century ago, but to keep its “measles-free” designation, officials will have to make a strong case that measles is not continuously spreading within its borders. ...

Of all the harm this administration has done to US science, today's proposed changes to the way federal grants are awarded and administered is the most damaging yet. The text of the federal register document is impenetrably tedious by design, so here's an excellent summary of what it says.

I’m an NIH whistleblower. The scientific community cannot afford to avoid politics

The Trump administration rescinded the "endangerment finding" today, declaring that climate change doesn't harm health. They are wrong. Some evidence from me, @howardfrumkin.bsky.social, @jonathanpatz.bsky.social, and Vijay Limaye from @theconversation.com theconversation.com/trump-says-c...

Trump says climate change doesn’t endanger public health – evidence shows it does, from extreme heat to mosquito-borne illnesses

Climate change is making people sicker and more vulnerable to disease. Erasing the federal endangerment finding increases the risk.

Especially important in light of today's EPA news. On how the privatization of climate data is creating a world where the best understanding of risk lives inside corporations, while the institutions of democracy increasingly struggle to insist upon full data and understanding. Essential reading.

$172 million on private jets for Kristi Noem? Incredible. Meanwhile, the Coast Guard is supposed to save lives and protect our coasts, but apparently it’s easier and far more important to fund her personal travel budget. Wasteful doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

“In one of the hardest hit villages, Kipnuk, an initial assessment showed that 121 or homes — or 90% of the total — have been destroyed”

Alaska storm damage so bad many evacuees won’t go home for at least 18 months, governor says

Damage to remote Alaska villages hammered by flooding last weekend is so extreme that many of the more than 2,000 people displaced won’t be able to return to their homes for at least 18 months.
