Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

The Trump administration wants to destroy two satellites that collect data on CO₂ and methane in the atmosphere, apparently because they're afraid of the numbers reported... and they're discovering that farmers are upset because they use this data to help maintain their crops.

Opinion | Revenge, Thy Name Is Emil Bove

If the Senate confirms the wildly unqualified Emil Bove, it will be responsible for the even Trumpier and more lawless Supreme Court for which the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit is potentially but a Bovean stepping stone. He is an antijudge extraordinaire

Trump Seems to Be Warming to What Europe Wants for Ukraine: New Russia Sanctions

Note how this entire "analysis" turns on idle chitchat while failing to report the essential facts, including that Trump started the week repealing major sanctions against Russia. As Süddeutsche Zeitung says, anyone who rests their analysis on what Trump says rather than what he does is a nitwit.

It’s disturbing that Justice Jackson was left to dissent alone from this legally reckless, constitutionally wrongheaded, and procedurally indefensible use of the Court’s emergency powers. History will vindicate her courageous if lonely stand against this outrage.

‘People Are Going to Die’: A Malnutrition Crisis Looms in the Wake of USAID Cuts Warehouses in the US are full of foods that fight malnutrition, while kids go hungry in places like South Sudan.

From Lollapalooza to Detention Camps: Meet the Tent Company Making a Fortune Off Trump’s Deportation Plans The privately held company Deployed Resources has made billions running tent detention facilities to hold immigrants entering the U.S. at the border. Now it is cashing in again on Trump’s plan to…

Over the past two decades, this little-known tent company went from helping to support music festivals like Lollapalooza to building camps for a completely different use: detaining immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Now it's hoping to cash in on Trump’s deportation plans.

“It is a dark time in the history of public health when political appointees overrule expert recommendations, pick and choose data to support their ideology, and use their position to advance personal agendas,” said Dr. Daniel Griffin, an infectious disease expert at Columbia University.

Keep calling, writing, and speaking out.

Republicans are in the middle of trying to pass Trump's big bill, but it's not a done deal.

They know it's a bad bill, and we need to convince just four of them to stand with working families. If we can do that, we can stop this thing.

We *can* drive positive change. In spite of severe challenges, the past ten years have nonetheless seen the emergence of innovative models to effectively address deeply entrenched systemic problems. These approaches are valuable for...

What examples have you seen of change models that work?

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Republican plans to cap student borrowing could shatter an everyday profession One GOP senator said anyone paying more than $100K to go to med school is "making a huge mistake." But the median cost of attending one is more than double that for the class of 2025.

There are 100k students in med school each year. Room and board is about 100k per year. For 10b a year, med school could be free. We would see a wholesale change in the profession, career paths and the cost of care.

It would change the economics for every financial decision doctors

By law, Trump can’t send them in without invoking the Insurrection Act. And there’s noting about these protests that would merit that.

But he’s no longer really bound by the law, because there’s no mechanism other than impeachment to hold him accountable for breaking it.

So who the hell knows.

Elon Musk Could Have US Citizenship Revoked If He Lied on Immigration Forms The richest man in the world appears to have worked in the US without authorization. According to experts, if he did so and lied about it as part of the immigration process, he could be denaturalized.

Meanwhile, Steve Bannon is urging an investigation into Musk’s immigration status, calling him an “illegal alien.”

It has been reported that Musk may have lied on his visa forms, which could put his citizenship at risk, as we reported in 2024.

Americans don't approve of the treatment of Abrego Garcia, and approval of Trump's immigration policies has soured

The NYT has singlehandedly turned this charlatan and buffoon into the spokesman of the American right on the subject of higher education.

‘Big Balls’ Is Officially a Full-Time Government Employee The first wave of DOGE staffers was supposed to be gone after 130 days. Instead, core members of the team have signed on for the long haul.

Beyond GSA, they’ve touched:

– Department of Health and Human Services.
– Department of Education.
– Department of Homeland Security.
– Social Security Administration.
– Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
…and more.
