This should be a bigger story.

More than 15,000 American farms shut down in 2025.

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Happy birthday! Heres to many more! It’s not the number of years that count; it’s the number of bionic body parts imparting superhuman abilities. May you continue to be a timeless wit, and may you get a top notch laser shooting implant when your eyes fail you.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

I was thinking Weekend at Bernie’s

This is amazing 🤣

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The anti-ICE protester, 19, was hurling insults but standing still when she was sprayed.

That's assault

This year vs next year. This is what the Republicans want Dems to give into.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

Picturesque dinosaurs around here.

A most kissable snoot! Love this guy.

Ambiguous as the intention may be, that’s a solid negative for the goats any way you look at it.

Who remembers growing up with this story?

Just me, or did all of our retirement savings make the slide whistle “down” sound?

I get the feeling the market is playing a melt-up game of Chicken? Someone make it make sense.
