The @planetarysociety.bsky.social makes it super easy to send letters to your congresspeople urging them to support NASA science during these trying times. If you believe in the power of science to transform the world for the better, please consider doing this.

Trump is now talking about shipping U.S. citizens to prisons in El Salvador. Let me say that again: U.S. citizens. To foreign prisons. This is not just unconstitutional—it’s unhinged.

Trump says he wants to imprison US citizens in El Salvador. That's likely illegal

President Donald Trump keeps talking about sending U.S. citizens who commit violent crimes to prison in El Salvador. But that's likely illegal.

On today’s episode of “He’s Tearing This S**t Up”—Trump plans to dismantle NOAA, shutting down climate research and weather labs. In Texas, that means fewer hurricane warnings, less drought data, & more risk to our communities. This isn’t just a budget cut—it’s a threat to our safety.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies. In Denmark: - Health care and college are free. - The starting wage is $22/hr. - Paid parental leave is 1 year. - Paid vacation is 6 weeks. - All workers get pensions.

These dedicated civil servants are damn good at what they do & our communities are better served by having them on the job. This sends a powerful message to Musk & Trump that we will not back down & we'll keep pushing until every federal worker can continue their essential work.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

The CR passed in the House will provide a blank check for Trump and Musk to continue their savage war against working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor in order to lay the groundwork for massive tax breaks for billionaires. This is a bill I cannot support.

We need a government shutdown. They will do that anyhow and you will be complicit in it, if you vote for this bill. It is outrageous.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Today at the “Stand up for Science” demonstration at the Lincoln Memorial.

A crowd of people demonstrating outside in front of the Lincoln Memorial on a clear, sunny day. Some of the signs read “Science over Stupidity,” “Science Makes America Great,” and “Team Public Health, Not Team Measles.”

One thing Trump didn't talk about last night: his plans to abandon American women’s right to abortion care in medical emergencies. I wonder why he wouldn't want anyone to know that.

Giant corporations are using Donald Trump’s haphazard tariff announcements as an excuse to raise prices. The Trump Administration has no plan to stop it – and working families will unfairly foot the bill.

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?
