The Trump Administration Keeps Citing an Untrue Stat as It Targets Federal Workers A β€œsurvey of our niche audience for our niche audience” was the source for the claim that only 6% of federal employees are working full time in their offices. The number isn’t true. Why do administration and elected officials keep relying on it?

Maine Gov. Janet Mills took no crap from Trump in a fiery interaction: β€œSee you in court.” Then, the DOE hit Maine with a Title IX probe. Mills: β€œThis isn’t just about sportsβ€”it’s about a president forcing his will.” This and more in today’s bulletin ⬇️

β€œMore than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.”

Scientists warn of long-term damage as Trump’s orders slow research By blocking announcements in the Federal Register, the administration is keeping experts from meeting to evaluate funding proposals.

It’s not hyperbole to say that American science is being destroyed before our eyes.

Map of the United States displaying hydrogen ion wet deposition levels from measurements taken in 1985 by the Central Analytical Laboratory. The map uses a color gradient from green (low deposition) to red (high deposition) to show varying levels of H+ deposition (kg/ha). The highest deposition levels are concentrated in the northeastern U.S., while the western U.S. has the lowest levels. Black dots indicate measurement locations. The map is sourced from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program/National Trends Network

The color gradient represents different concentration levels, with a scale on the right. Sites not pictured are listed at the bottom. The map is mostly green, indicating that H+ deposition is no longer a environment issue that it once was.

Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants.
