"I think a person can have enough judgement from reading books and being informed outside of traditional experience..."

"What books would you have read that would have informed your opinion on what grants to cancel based on DEI?"

"There were no books."

"Do you think it's inappropriate in any way that someone in their 20s with no experience with grants or federal government was making personal judgement calls about what grants to cancel?"

"No, I don't think it's inappropriate."

‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ could cost tribes $1.5B climate funding, creates food assistance and health care barriers - ICT New Brookings Institution report identifies potential $1.5 billion loss of climate funding to tribes, potential barriers to Indigenous people seeking SNAP and Medicaid

A 2020 Bureau of Indian Affairs report estimated Tribal relocation costs at $4.8 billion over the next 50 years. Meanwhile…

This is more than twice what it would cost the federal government to honor its trust responsibility and fund Tribes to relocate villages and infrastructure away from sea level rise and other climate hazards.

Instead, they’re literally putting fuel on the fire.

Bounds of snow in the PNW this week is a loaded gun for potential flooding next week. A Pineapple Express with record amounts of moisture may slam Washington and British Columbia from Monday-Wednesday, possibly dropping up to 10 inches of rain in the Cascades (freezing levels ~8,000 ft).

Official map from NOAA depicting the relative rank of winter 2025-2026 temperatures at a county level across the contiguous U.S. Many counties in the western and central U.S. are depicted in dark red color, signifying record-warmest winter. All other counties in the west and central U.S. are depicted in dark orange colors, signifying a "near record warm" rank.

The official NOAA stats out this week confirm that winter 2025-26 was the warmest on record across a huge portion of the western and central U.S., which has contributed to extremely low mountain snowpack & worsened the CO River crisis. Meanwhile, record March heat is in forecast.

Reminding myself that the ability to still be shocked - for our hearts to continue to recoil and break anew - is a good thing.

May we never, ever get used to this, until the day we don’t have to.

Protesters rallying for science in front of the Seattle Space Needle. A scientist in a lab coat with a Statue of Liberty torch and crown. The scientist is a smiling white man with a mustache standing behind his colorful bicycle. Protest sign says “Fund brains not bombs.” The “a” in “brain” is a drawing of a human brain. The “o” in “bombs” is a drawing of a bomb.

Thanks for coming out to #StandUpForScience today, Seattle! Huge thanks to the organizers and other speakers.

Nature Report, Killed by Trump, Is Released Independently

When the US govt terminated the National Nature Asst, @phillevin.bsky.social + the author team were determined not to let that stop them.

They re-organized, set up an advisory committee, found funding…and now the brand new Nature Record is open for public comment. 👏🌳👏🌲

Check it out (link below)!

NBC's top climate reporter quits In an exclusive interview, veteran NBC meteorologist Chase Cain opens up about burnout, suppression, and why he's going independent.

Corporate broadcast coverage of climate change fell 35% in the last year, even as Trump systemically dismantled climate policy and billion-dollar disasters rose

The gradual deprioritization led NBC climate reporter Chase Cain to hit a breaking point, and he quit last week

Here's our interview:

Trump’s Alaska Oil, Gas Lease Sale Draws Zero Bids From Drillers The Trump administration’s first oil and gas lease sale in Alaska’s Cook Inlet received no bids, according to the US Interior Department, indicating tepid interest from drillers in that region.
