This is what it feels like to know things.

ok!!!

President Donald Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin are holding a press conference to announce the repeal of the Endangerment Finding at 1:30 p.m. ET. Follow along here for live updates. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cSW...

You're telling me that's not a banana

"And yet portions of the Trump administration and MAGA fight on, insisting that Bad Bunny has been humiliated, Kid Rock and his jorts have been vindicated, and the whole thing has in fact gone extremely well."

A deeper dive into the GRFP applications being "returned without review" (and without explanation).

This is really interesting, though I'm curious how many people consider "asking a chatbot" to be "doing their own research." At the same time, actually, I don't want to know. www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2...

"I miss my friends, and I feel like they're going to forget me...I always travel with my tourist visa, but ICE used me to capture my mom, and now I'm in a jail and I'm sad and I've fainted two times." Powerful reporting on unconscionable actions.

Many students said they were careful to avoid "banned words" in their GRFP applications, but in some cases it was unavoidable. Now they're wondering if these words led to their RWR notifications. “My project is about bears and ‘black’ is a trigger word,” one Redditor wrote. “Insane.”

cool. glad we protected her identity at least www.404media.co/the-doj-reda...

"You may be skeptical about machine-written work at first, but once you see the software rearranging familiar-seeming paragraphs into different orders and changing a few words, you’ll realize it’s a suitable replacement for your favorite authors, who can now rest and starve."

"The newspaper's finances are barely a rounding error compared to Bezos's wealth, but what its journalists do—accountability journalism about the rich and powerful—does not serve someone who is rich and powerful." @jasonkoebler.bsky.social for @404media.co www.404media.co/the-washingt...

Hahahahaha

“I can’t think of a better incubation environment for transmission of measles than a detention facility,” said Jeanne Marrazzo, CEO of the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

It’s salty. It’s full of carbon. Its upwelling may have helped end the last ice age. It’s…the salty blob! Thanks to @ocnogrphr.bsky.social for sharing his work with me.🧂🌊 eos.org/articles/how...

I don't think people appreciate the extent to which coral reefs are screwed. Even if ocean acidification doesn't get them, increasing ocean temperatures will. How screwed they are is up to us.

NCAR represents what is possible when a nation chooses to invest in science as a public good, writes @carlonimbus.bsky.social of @ucs.org. #SaveNCAR eos.org/opinions/wha...

Stroke risk doesn't seem to change much whether people are exposed to 1, 2 or 3 years of non-smoke PM2.5 pollution. “But for smoke, this picture is very different,” said Yang Liu. "The longer you’re exposed to smoke, the greater your stroke risk.” New from me in @eos.org. eos.org/articles/wil...

A striking statement: "The Minneapolis Police Department went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds and hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone."

“Groundwater is literally everywhere all the time,” said Laura Condon. "Some places it’s 300 meters deep, some places it’s 1 meter deep. But wherever you’re standing, dig down, and there’s water down there somewhere.” My latest for @eos.org. eos.org/articles/rep...

Today marks one year since Trump began his second term. In this report, look back at how the climate and environment, the federal workforce, and higher ed have fared so far. eos.org/state-of-the...

I heard a story on the radio that I really liked, and I wrote to the reporter to express my appreciation. This is the reply I received: "Thank you David - your appreciation note is rare and came right when I needed it." We should do this more often. Journalism is so important to a free society.

As Year 2 of Trump 2.0 starts, get a refresher on how the administration’s actions in its first year affected climate change and energy policy, public health and safety, the federal workforce, academia, and the environment. eos.org/state-of-the...

Scientists are still responding to the whirlwind of change unleashed in the past year. @eos.org hopes this report provides a framework to better understand these responses and help inform your own. news.agu.org/press-releas...

“Journalists have the right to do their jobs without fear of government interference,” said President Jon Schleuss. “Today’s FBI raid on a journalist’s home is a direct assault on the 1st Amendment and a threat to every working journalist. @postguild.bsky.social newsguild.org/the-newsguil...

In my experience, you try a bunch of different shoes on and do an awkward little jog around the running store in each pair. Then you buy the ones that feel the best.

I am calling for a complete and total boycott of the Mercator projection in all news stories about Greenland until every member of the American public has seen this

if you want a long read that involves udders, a hot air balloon, and some extremely dubious data on egg prices, the story I’ve been working on for the last few months where I tried to single-handedly take on every government function myself is now online! www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

“President Trump’s talk of ‘buying’ Greenland is not only an affront to Greenland’s autonomy but also a dangerous distraction from the urgent work of addressing environmental change impacts to US citizens,” the letter reads. eos.org/research-and...

The White House has finalized a plan to roll back regulations outlined by one of the United States' bedrock environmental laws. eos.org/research-and...

@agu.org should give the social media person at Eos a raise.

The author of a viral Reddit thread alleging fraud at a food delivery company tried to back up his claim by sending me AI-generated documents. Today I'm publishing those documents in the hopes that it helps other reporter see what we're up against in the age of AI www.platformer.news/fake-uber-ea...

The House and Senate have agreed upon some parts of the FY26 budget, including those related to many science agencies and programs. At the moment, the outlook is not quite as bad as it seemed. eos.org/research-and...

"10:30 A.M. Send another overdue notice to the impish man who checked out 'Tom Sawyer' months ago and listed last known address as 'Heaven.' Men like this are why I’m a single spinster."

It was really thoughtful of Israel to not only include things he fully hated this year, but to give people he is on the brink of hating a warning. "I don't really hate Glen Powell, not yet at least, but he is skating on thin ice lately. He's just on the verge of having too much dip on the chip."

The Coquille Indian Tribe has long understood the importance of salmon to the Coos Bay estuary. In research presented at #AGU25, a team studied soils to learn more about how the estuary has changed over time. eos.org/articles/ble...

(adding alt text to this NCAR update from here in CO) "President Trump is attacking Colorado because we refuse to bend to his corrupt administration. His reckless decision to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research will have lasting, devastating impacts across the country." (1/2)

The timeline we are living in continues to grow ever more outlandish (though it looks like comments are now turned off).

At an @agu.org Town Hall today, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social President Antonio Busalacchi spoke to #AGU25 attendees about what's at stake if NCAR is dismantled. One attendee asked anyone who uses NCAR research to stand up. Almost everyone in the room stood. Read more here: eos.org/research-and...

A great interview with photographer behind THE Vanity Fair images. "My job is to go in and draw on my experience as a journalist and photograph what I see. I go in not with the mission of making someone look good or bad. Whether anyone believes me or not..." www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

The Trump Administration's plan to dismantle the @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is senseless & dangerous. It would weaken weather forecasting, climate research, & the science that keeps people safe. We urge that this plan be abandoned. Call Congress to #SaveNCAR today. buff.ly/7ka1BQA

A couple of quotes from this (very useful) (very depressing) livestream. Thanks to Daniel for hosting it!
