Trump's EPA revokes the "endangerment finding" on greenhouse gases. Here's what to know. The Trump administration says greenhouse gases emitted from sources like cars, trucks and power plants will no longer be regulated by the federal government.

So the “elected” President with his elected majority House and Senate says they have to takeover elections because Dems cheat. Make that argument make sense.

U.S. government has lost more than 10,000 STEM Ph.D.s since Trump took office A Science analysis reveals how many were fired, retired, or quit across 14 agencies

Yeah, I’m one of them.

They have no respect for the communities they occupy. Is that the right attitude for Federal “law enforcement officers?” That’s how goons behave.

This graphic shows a sharp, across-the-board contraction of the U.S. federal STEM Ph.D. workforce in 2025, compared with 2024, across 14 science-intensive agencies.

The horizontal bars plot **departures to the left** and **hires to the right**, with lighter colors for 2024 and darker colors for 2025. For every agency, the 2025 departure bar is substantially longer than the 2024 bar, while the hiring bar shrinks markedly. There are no exceptions: **all 14 agencies lost far more STEM Ph.D.s in 2025 than the year before**, and all hired fewer.

The **largest absolute losses** occur in the Department of Health and Human Services. The **National Institutes of Health** stands out most clearly, with **over 1,100 STEM Ph.D. departures in 2025**, compared with **about 421 in 2024**, despite being the single largest employer of STEM Ph.D.s in the federal government. The **Food and Drug Administration** and **CDC** show similarly large increases in departures and weaker hiring.

Across agencies, the pattern is not just absolute but proportional. On average, the figure reports **roughly three times more STEM Ph.D.s leaving in 2025 than in 2024**, and **11 times more losses than gains** when departures are compared with hires in 2025. Particularly steep percentage increases in departures appear at **NOAA**, the **Environmental Protection Agency**, and the **U.S. Forest Service**, even though these agencies are smaller than NIH.

No, they rushed to hire a bunch of incompetent shitheads and racists and are led by psychopaths. Not the victim’s fault.

Trump is by far the most incompetent, dishonest president of my lifetime. Seems like it should be easier to remove a criminal from the Whitehouse.

I am a futurist. But I am sick of futurists saying horseshit like “If we don’t develop technologies like space travel, it will spell the doom of the human race.” This notion is predicated on the belief that we are going to destroy the Earth. If so, we’re imbeciles and get what we deserve.

10 Companies Have Already Made $1 Million as ICE Bounty Hunters. We Found Them. And they stand to make millions more in cash bonuses for surveilling and tracking immigrants in service of ICE’s deporta

These 10 companies stand to rake in $1 billion by 2027 by helping ICE track down and round up immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

The Trump doctrine: Violence is us The message is clear—be afraid.

"As Trump reaches the end of the first year of his return to power, he and his lieutenants are demonstrating their willingness to deploy force beyond its legitimate use to achieve their aims. The warning is clear and intentional: We are violent. Beware."

“Murdering” is the correct word. It is obvious she was just trying to flee, not “weaponize her vehicle.” Then Noem and Trump get up there and lie and call it “self-defense” and support the murder of a woman who (presumably) doesn’t support their agenda.

I work in AI and data science, so you would think I would be supportive of this concept. But this kind of power in the hands on an emerging authoritarian regime scares the $h!T out of me.

You Need Science. Now Science Needs You. YouTube video by Union of Concerned Scientists

The last 100 days have been an unprecedented assault on American science. Our scientists. Our institutions. And the people around the world who rely on it. We must stand united and speak up. Our collective future depends on it. #ScienceMatters www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPlu... savesciencenow.org
