NOAA 2026 budget out and it is grim. www.commerce.gov/sites/defaul...

The latest draft of the bill requires federal employees to contribute 15.6 percent of their salaries to their retirement, up from the 4.4 percent that employees hired after 2014 currently contribute and the 9.4 percent included in the original version of the budget bill, Politico reported.

Don’t buy fireworks. Buy some food for some shelter animals instead. Let them feel a small amount of relief and some independence from our loud, unnecessary, obnoxious noisiness for at least one day

🌊 #OneArgo is revolutionizing ocean health monitoring! With 20x more oxygen profiles yearly than ships, it reveals critical changes in ocean oxygen, which has dropped ~2% since mid-20th century, with dead zones quadrupling. We need this data to protect our oceans!
