earth science at NASA includes improving hurricane and wildfire prediction, just so you know

We’re not distracted and it’s not going away.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

So generous #caturday #cats

No matter where someone was born, the United States should never tolerate inhumane treatment. Yet right now, detainees in ICE custody are facing conditions that are simply unacceptable in any country that claims to uphold human rights, let alone one that prides itself on freedom and the rule of law.

Kudos to SpaceX for figuring out that it's more efficient to simply let Starship explode on the pad rather than having to actually launch it first

We’ve arranged a society on science and technology in which nobody understands anything about science and technology, and this combustible mixture of ignorance and power sooner or later is going to blow up in our faces.

They are taking money from the poor to hand to the rich. Reverse Robin Hood politics. We must reject the “Big Beautiful” Bullshit.

What if he threw a $45 million parade and nobody came? Boring. Low energy. Sad!

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

This editorial is courtesy of today’s @sltrib.com The part where Goldberg goes, “Musk could’ve just flown to Kenya to see what effects his cuts had made.” The abrupt cuts to food/medicine through USAID? People died. #CrueltyIsThePoint #utpol

My bet is Jared pushed back on where proposed cuts were being made. The Elon ties are concerning, but there is no way we're doing better than him.

🟡 SCOOP: The White House is likely to pull the nomination of Jared Isaacman to be the next NASA administrator, just days before he was set to receive a confirmation vote in the Senate.

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

NASA "leveraging the existing HLS contracts" for Mars landers means bypassing the open bid process and handing the contract directly to Elon. Absolutely insane.

Inspired by @jtuttlekeane.bsky.social and @ohdearz.bsky.social, here's what the White House proposed budget cuts to NASA would do to the entirety of the agency's Science Mission Directorate. Bloodbath is right.

I love my beloveds with autism, and each and every single person I know who has autism has demonstrable talents (music, physics, visual art) and panache galore, unlike the joyless ghoul RFK jr. Cannot wait until this administration is in the rearview mirror

SPACENEWS: NASA budget would cancel dozens of science missions, lay off thousands (But sets aside nearly $2 billion effectively earmarked for SpaceX) spacenews.com/nasa-budget-...

No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

I think about this comic at least once a week

Most Americans frequently use federal science information. But few are concerned that cuts to federal science spending could affect their access to such information, a new poll finds.

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American. If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

Stupid beyond measure. This will cost my district countless jobs — all to pay for TRILLIONS in new tax cuts for the richest people in society. America is being ROBBED in the HEIST of the century!!!!

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶
