In 1896, Florence Bascom became the first woman to work for USGS! She was also the first woman to earn a Ph.D. from @jhu.edu (in 1893) and created the geology program at Bryn Mawr College. She retired at age 74. #WomensHistoryMonth

As a young child, my mom knew I could read when she heard me laugh at the Washington Post comics one Sunday morning. This has been my hometown paper for half a century. But what Grossman says is painfully true.

From EEOB trick or treating in ‘19. The WH is the People’s House. It’s our collective heritage. All of us who walk its halls and meet in its rooms are but passing through — temporary stewards, with responsibility for respecting the past, serving the present, and preserving it for the future.

The Department of Energy hired five academics to raise doubts about climate change. 85+ climate experts (organized by @andrewdessler.com) reviewed their report. Our conclusion, detailed in 450 pages of analysis: it is biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policy making.

So this Admin has abandoned investments aimed at reducing risks and *preventing* damage, and stated a desire for agencies to better support disaster survivors. Is this remotely consistent with that? Nope. Everyone’s on their own.

I was glad to be a technical advisor on this. POTUS’ revocation (twice - in ‘17 and ‘25) of the Fed. Flood Risk Mgmt Standard weakened the flood resilience requirements for Federally funded projects, incl post-disaster public infrastructure. Wastes your tax dollars & guarantees future suffering.

“Reducing administrative burdens”…while exacerbating suffering and loss. This Admin wants to decrease federal spending on disasters, not by reducing losses like thru the FFRMS, but by just refusing to pay for it. Others will still pay — increasing their financial, physical, and emotional burdens.

Empathy is an important quality — for all of us, and especially in our elected officials. It’s not partisan. My daughter is part of the DC skating community that’s reeling from this incident. We can expect no comfort or competence from our current WH.

I think I’ve hit my limit in my ability to compartmentalize all of the stuff coming at us here in DC. I was barely hanging on as I watch the assault on our federal govt and career civil servants. My daughter is part of the DC figure skating community, and that flight is exactly like those we take.

As with all transitions, some great people leave Fed service -- mainly those in appointed or temp roles. But there are so many career folks who will still serve, still deliver on mission. If you know any, reach out. Check in. Let them know their work remains important. Show your support.
