OPM has issued a final rule removing the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) as the agency for how an applicant, appointee, or employee may appeal a suitability action taken under 5 CFR part 731. In other words, pay the right bribe and get the appeal. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Last week of voting Seattle! Get your ballots in! In the past week our volunteers have messaged many groups to confirm, clarify, or correct updated endorsements. If you find an error or if you know an endorsement has been updated by an org, we want to know about it!

On this week’s episode of “this is fascism”: MAGA is testing the boundaries of the courts by adding CAIR to state lists of “terrorist organizations” to block funding and persecute those who donate to the non-profit. (But sure, “fascism” is too strong of a word 🙄) www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...

CAIR, a Muslim Nonprofit, Gets a Terrorism Label in Florida and Texas (Gift Article)

The federal government designates terrorism groups. But Governors Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott have gotten in the game, and a focus is CAIR, a nonprofit.

My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career. Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not Dr. Fauci’s.

Hard to see this when resources and communities in Eastern WA and OR are already stretched thin dealing with existing fires. Large swathes of Washington east of the Cascades face a “Particularly Dangerous Situation” with this Red Flag Warning - rare, dire language from the NWS.

‘Extremely critical’ fire danger Saturday in central, eastern Washington

As August begins this weekend, a very serious fire weather threat will develop east of the Cascade crest due to strong westerly winds and low humidity.

Trump has called the decades of peer-reviewed climate science that guides the NAS manual for judges "fraudulent." He has repeatedly tried to discredit the science behind climate change, because his big oil and gas donors are responsible for accelerating it. 🧵

Donald J. Trump, @realDonaldTrump, via Truth Social. "The National Academy of Sciences has historically published analytical Scientific Manuals expressly for our Federal Judiciary. Of course, the Academy has been run by Radical Left Dumocrats who, it turns out, published fraudulent, biased, and misleading Manuals on Climate Change. These bogus Manuals were used by Judges to decide massive "Climate Change" Cases, and have created huge losses across our Country. These Manuals have been totally DISCREDITED. Our Nation's Federal Judges deserve Facts and Science, not Political Fraud and False Science on Climate. With this TRUTH, I hereby order Federal Suspension and Debarment Officials to review this conduct. Our Taxpayers should not be funding Climate Fraud, and Judges should never have relied upon it. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! There are only 1 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/eoQwY

Graphic from Stand Up for Science urging action on a federal funding proposal. Large text reads: "1 Days Left" and "Help Us Stop Vought From Destroying American Science." A portrait of Russell Vought appears beside the U.S. Capitol. A banner along the bottom reads: "Submit a comment on the OMB proposal | Link in bio to take action." The Stand Up for Science logo appears in the top left.

📬 Just submitted my public comment. Do you like peer reviewed science that can leverage international collaboration and not be subject to political whims and cancellation at any time for any reason? This is your chance to comment!! zurl.co/eoQwY

This new OMB Rule Is Bigger Than Science. Much Bigger.
