Donald Trump’s insults and threats are designed to normalize a condition of enmity between the US and Canada, writes Patrick Lennox. “They are an absurdist denial of our independent statehood—on repeat—until it begins to ring true.” ow.ly/o4ti50Yqw8C

Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela? 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.

Last month was statistically tied for the lowest April snow cover on record across the Northern Hemisphere. Springtime snow decline has consistently been an indicator of a warming cryosphere and results in changes to surface albedo properties. Graphic/data by climate.rutgers.edu/snowcover/

Bar graph showing Northern Hemisphere snow cover anomalies for each April from 1967 to 2025. There is substantial yearly variability. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline.

With current border policies, it is unethical to continue holding so many important science conferences in the US. In addition to moving conferences to safer international locations, US organizers must reorganize meetings around remote participation.
