It was good but also sad to hear detailed effects of the cuts

β€˜Climate of fear’: Montreal doctor says NYU cancelled her presentation A Montreal doctor says her presentation at NYU was abruptly cancelled and believes the university did so out of fear of being pressured by the Donald Trump administration.

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID.

This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

The Trump administration has set up an email (airaction@epa.gov) allowing polluters to request exemptions from nine Clean Air Act rules. Under Section 112(i)(4) of the Clean Air Act, the president has the authority to grant these exemptions through a Presidential Exemption.

Musk is rapidly pushing forward the privatization of space and satellite operations that have long been managed by the NOAA. DOGE has acquired confidential data from NOAA’s competitorsβ€”an alarming development that has further cemented SpaceX’s dominance in the space and satellite industry.

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is

All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.

Their finances will be turned upside

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism".

This is disgraceful and un-American. The Trump administration defended its removal of articles highlighting the achievements of minority service members, including Navajo code talkers, Marines at Iwo Jima, and famed Black baseball player Jackie Robinson.

Musk staffers are joking about how upcoming Social Security changes will restrict access by requiring in-person visits while simultaneously shutting down offices. They are touting the cost savings from limiting access.

Follow the money and see where it goes. Nothing like buying our Congress. Musk has made the maximum allowable donation to members of Congress who support impeaching federal judges who are impeding actions taken by Trump.

NASA begins cutting staff and eliminating three offices, marking the start of a mandated reduction in force at the space agency under Elon Musk’s directive. Gotta keep SpaceX afloat, right? Conflict of interest!

Musk keeps firing us, and with all this free time, we’re organizing America. They call us β€œpaid protesters”—but seriously, where do we sign up for that paycheck? We’re open to those β€œSoros bucks.” Every day, we spill the tea, knowing retribution is coming.

Please read and share.

Musk is attempting to blame Ukraine for the X cyberattack, but word has already spread that it was a false flag. What is a false flag? A false flag operation is an act committed to disguise the actual source of responsibility and shift blame onto another party.

I would like to see the complaint filed against the University of Wisconsin. I’m involved with a student group and I haven’t heard anything from the members or the local news. Intimidation most likely

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.

Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.

Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

See how this works?

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffsβ€”Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

Tesla recalls 380,000 vehicles in US over power steering issue Tesla said on Friday it was recalling nearly 380,000 vehicles in the United States due to a power steering assist failure that could increase steering effort, particularly at low speeds, raising the risk of a crash.

The thing about some of the employees cut from federal agencies is a lot of folks say this won’t impact me. You might want to think twice about that www.reuters.com/business/aut...
