Court finds Trump Administration is violating its order to provide full SNAP benefits. I will discuss with Ana Cabrera at @MSNBC at 11:15 am ET. In our judicial system, losing litigants may appeal court orders with which they disagree, but they may not defy them.

Excellent new episode of PBS Terra Weathered has just been released. This episode discusses hurricane rapid intensification and hurricane strength and how these relate to climate change. The effects of AMOC strength fluctuations and aerosols / sulphur emissions are also covered. Worth watching:

History repeats.

Nice article about the DOE report and how the scientific community is responding www.newsweek.com/why-trumps-m...

Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public? Yeah, me neither. #ReleaseTheEPSTEINFilesASAP

“Florida is the first state to take the courageous step toward decluttering itself of excess children,” @petridishes.bsky.social writes on the state’s elimination of vaccine mandates. “No price is too high to pay in this pointless war.”

@climatenews.bsky.social Another Datapoint - weakened trade winds had been the reason...

Oddly, when my wife pointed out the errors to it, it admitted in the text that it was wrong, and repeatedly said it could redo the image to label the bones correctly, and then repeatedly made new, weird errors until we gave up.

“Moving to research in the U.S., this is a decades-long commitment—you are uprooting your family and everything, you want some assurances that there’s not really chaos,” Terence Tao said. Trump administration: Nice to want.

which place critical limits on federal and state power, were removed entirely. These sections include protections such as habeas corpus and the prohibition on the government granting titles of nobility. They claim this was done in error. Link: constitution.congress.gov/constitution/

The new books arrived, looking great! @michaelemann.bsky.social @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social @publicaffairs1796.bsky.social

Working with Peter on this book has been especially rewarding, meaningful...and therapeutic. We had no idea just how sadly relevant #ScienceUnderSiege would be when we set out to write the book a year and a half ago.

The great dismantling

What good is an Environmental Protection Agency without its power to *protect* our public health? The Trump Administration is putting polluters over our children's future. apnews.com/article/trum...

Haha 😂

Paramount+ sub = $60 a year Shift that $ to your @pbs.org station instead and you’ll do two good things at the same time. Do it.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Latest Barnes & Noble offer on our forthcoming book out in a few weeks @michaelemann.bsky.social @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social www.barnesandnoble.com/w/science-un...

I have had the privilege of crossing paths with many NOAA folks over the years, and have found them unswervingly devoted to the mission. We are lucky to live in a country served by such a talented and dedicated workforce.

In his weekly update, Dr. Griffin with Vincent Racaniello are alarmed at how RFK is breaking his promise of not altering vaccine policies + nonexistent data/studies used by members of the ACIP to make changes to immunization practices in absence of a CDC director @danielgriffinmdphd.bsky.social

Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

<endless screaming>

Let’s talk about the Vera C Rubin Observatory! We got the first images released today and holy crap 🤩 this one shows a region near the Virgo Cluster that is just chock full of galaxies. And this is only 1/50 of the telescopes full field of view 🤯 (1/n) 📸: NSF DOE Rubin Obs.🧪🔭

Bezos will soon marry Lauren Sánchez in Venice. Protesters say the city, already grappling with overtourism, is putting the wedding over their needs — which city officials and wedding organizers deny.

ACIP’s credibility relies on science. Inviting a former anti-vaccine leader to speak signals a profound breach. The Vaccine Integrity Project is committed to ensuring vaccine guidance stays rooted in evidence. 🔗 www.cidrap.umn.edu/vaccine-inte...

This woman works on a farm that's being raided by ICE. Her fear is palpable. She just begs people who see her post to tell others what is happening so maybe she can find her kids if they are also taken. This is inhumane and cruel, especially without due process.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

“Willful medical disinformation.” Experts call out the claims Kennedy is making to Congress to justify his new covid vaccine policy. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

I swear I am not making this up. Tonight Trump will go to the Kennedy Center to see “Les Miserables,” a play about a mass uprising against a tyrannical king. I hereby retire from satire.

The corruption here isn’t even my biggest concern. The security risk!?! The security risk is astronomical and totally unfixable. Listening devices? Tracking devices!? Software backdoors!? Intentional AND unintentional!? Unmeasurable risk.

Andor…holy $h!t

Watching “2073”, unaware of what this was and it’s fu@king terrifying…

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

UPDATED STORY: The Department of Energy now acknowledges that DOGE employees Farritor and Ramada were given accounts on the classified networks, but they say the accounts were never activated and have never been accessed. www.npr.org/2025/04/28/n...

The most important graph in the world! Another month of NASA CERES data shows that our planet keeps getting darker as global air pollution, cloud cover and ice area continue to decrease. A warmer planet radiates more heat to space, but our greenhouse gases now keep >4 W/m² in!

This is exactly the thing NOAA would never say unless it needed to signal it was being held hostage

President Trump signed an order Thursday aimed at making it easier for companies to mine the ocean floor. Scientists and environmental groups say it could harm a fragile ecosystem. From @juliaradio.bsky.social

Against authoritarianism or fascism, Silence = Consent.

Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add “meaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine
