This is a must read. And needs to be widely shared. Finally someone is presenting the current situation in a way that might just resonate.

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.

National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress (Gift Article)

The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

Sometimes these topics don’t have immediate impacts, but end up being building blocks for something truly magnificent. If you hand funding power to Russell Vought, each one of you will hold a piece of the responsibility for the U.S. falling behind in treatments and cures for at least a decade.

A massive marine heat wave in the Pacific, spanning an area 8x the contiguous US, is expected to intensify storms, exacerbate heat waves on land, and raise sea levels, particularly along the California coast. Climate change will increase the frequency and intensity of marine heat waves.

The Pacific Ocean is running a fever. Why that’s an ominous sign.

A marine heat wave covering an area eight times the size of the United States could soon fuel serious storms and extreme heat.

🧪 New from @dataforprogress.org: Federal research grants are awarded on scientific merit judged by panels of scientists and outside experts. Trump has moved to change that. Voters don't approve. www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2026/7/...

Bar chart of polling data from Data For Progress.
Title: Voters Want Scientists, Not the President's Team, Deciding Which Research Gets Funded.
Description: When it comes to deciding which proposals for scientific research get federal funding, which of the following comes closer to your view, even if neither is exactly right?
Response Options:
A) Decisions should be made by panels of scientists and experts based on scientific merit — research funding is too important to leave to political considerations.
B) Don't know
C) Decisions should be made by the president's team — elected leaders should direct how taxpayer money is spent on research.
All likely voters — 70% chose A, 8% chose B, 22% chose C
Democrat — 83% chose A, 5% chose B, 11% chose C
Independent / Third party — 78% chose A, 10% chose B, 12% chose C
Republican — 52% chose A, 9% chose B, 39% chose C
