This is not the time for this. Whatever else you think of Starmer, he is level-headed and has the international experience to help the UK carry the diplomatic Ming Vase through these very risky times. Put personal ambitions aside for the minute, and stop infighting for all our sakes.

It's just overpriced pre-packaged ones that have a high sugar content, not ones made fresh, such as you would buy at a coffee shop, and shown in the photo - very misleading headline - expected better from Politico.

Horticulturists, Biologists, Engineers: Federal ‘Bloat’ or Valued Experts? President Trump’s effort to remake the government is a direct challenge to a decades-long effort to build a civil service stocked with experts. Critics say it will backfire.

Cutting the jobs of those who look after the future of our #food at the national plant germplasm system in the US? Great plan. #agrobiodiversity #genebank

I now think of it as kiss rather than x. Takes the anger away.

Trump Killed a Major Report on Nature. They’re Trying to Publish It Anyway. The first full draft of the assessment, on the state of America’s land, water and wildlife, was weeks from completion. The project leader called the study “too important to die.”

Sigh. I truly hope it gets published anyway one way or another ...
