Love this take. Nothing feels more rewarding than the "art" of doing science

I am hiring a postdoc @ Univ of Iowa. Potential project focuses include flood-risk infrastructure planning, disaster recovery processes and outcomes, insurance program externalities, or uncertainty in climate damage attribution. Please consider applying/sharing! jobs.uiowa.edu/postdoc/view...

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Nice write up! And not just because Emily makes me sound good! (I think - open to feedback!)

🚨🧑🏼‍🔬I’m hiring a postdoc to start in the fall! Come join our growing group here in Bloomington, Indiana. Please apply if you’re interested in climate impacts, extreme heat and health, climate change attribution and any related topic. indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/32142

What a great example of what we call for here! The repo (github.com/carbonplan/o...) is well documented and has good guidance for external developers (including current limitations). This looks like it could generate a lot of progress. Major kudos, and thank you!

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Kudos to @andrewdessler.com and the 83 scientists who joined us in critiquing DOE’s July climate report: it turns out that, with the weakness of that report exposed, OIRA staff concerned that maybe the science does show that climate change harms health and welfare archive.ph/d8xEG

You should have to register your whistle and if you blow it you go on a domestic terrorist database! If you blow a whistle at a school, immediate nationwide whistle ban

This admin is so far behind on getting resources to communities (e.g., www.linkedin.com/posts/derric... and www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/c...) even though they're substantially cutting disaster programs. What a sad pivot from claiming to build capabilities to blaming others for your own failings

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

The Founders (rightly) thought financial corruption was so concerning they banned it in the Constitution three separate times: the two emoluments clauses, and the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Starting in 2017, America decided it just kinda didn't matter anymore, whatcha gonna do.

This looks 🔥🔥🔥 "we show that half of the research published in top journals has disclosable ties to industry in the form of prior funding, collaboration, or employment. However, the majority of these ties go undisclosed in the published research."

Featuring a quote from @jdossgollin.bsky.social! As Adam notes, the core problem is these scores cannot be validated (in the strictest sense) for future use, because there are too many assumptions about future changes. We need to be transparent about these and look across a range of projections.

Companies projecting property climate risks don't agree on future, let alone historical risks. Limited (or fundamentally unavailable) validation data, different defensible assumptions, etc., This is exactly the kind of problem we offer a vision to overcome here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

President Trump is keeping proceeds from the first sale of Venezuelan oil in an offshore bank account based in Qatar, according to reporting from Semafor. The sale was worth $500 million. trib.al/0jE0pMT

The Social Cost of Carbon for the Oceans is out today in Nature Climate Change. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Until now, ocean damages have been largely missing from SCC estimates used in climate policy.

Texas A&M decided to publicly cancel my Ethics class, and share a false statement that I declined to provide information, which made it impossible for [them ] to request an exemption. See for yourself, if this statement is true. They are getting creative!

Climate risk science's greatest project successes have come in part due to transparency and reusability. We show that at the paper-level, there is plenty of room for growth. We talk about why this matters, what researchers can do, and how the greatest progress requires institutional support

DOKOUPIL: The CEO of Ford said he's got 5,000 open mechanic job. He can't find people TRUMP: That's a good thing, Tony. That means it's vibrant. You're gonna have a thing called robots.

WATCH: Trump shows his middle finger and appears to say "fuck you" after Ford worker yells "pedophile protector" - TMZ

NEW: I obtained internal emails from the Department of Energy's climate working group. They show the group plotting to produce a second misleading climate report, DOE officials avoiding public disclosure laws, DOE peer reviewers stating they weren't qualified: www.eenews.net/articles/doe...

ICE goon pushes man in front of a moving bus.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is demanding answers after the release of a shocking video that appears to show a federal immigration agent "accompanying a female detainee into a porta-potty" in Minnesota.

ICE could start by taking a harder look at its own ranks. Here’s a thread of CBP/ICE officers who have been arrested for sex crimes while serving as federal law enforcement. bsky.app/profile/paca...

If the capitol police reacted on Jan 6 the way ICE did in this encounter there would have been dozens dead

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June 2025)

Mississippi’s largest synagogue was set on fire before dawn Saturday. Fire department ruled it arson, and a suspect has been arrested. It is the same synagogue that the Ku Klux Klan bombed in 1967 because the rabbi supported civil rights. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I broke the story yesterday that masked ICE agents (not DOJ) were removing items including a personal computer from the home of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. I have yet to see a single news outlet cover this or an elected official even acknowledge it.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Department of false oppositions. Barack Obama deported as many or more people as Trump factchequeado.com/teexplicamos... but prioritized illegal immigrants with criminal records rather than menacing people with mobs of armed masked men and blatant ethnic profiling

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

At Status_ @oliverdarcy.bsky.social has learned that Bari Weiss, CBS News' Trump-approved minder, has held up another “60 Minutes” report: An Anderson Cooper investigation of Trump’s acceptance of white S. African refugees, which is “guaranteed to provoke Trump and inflame his MAGA base.”

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

Given news that ICE shot and killed an observer in Minneapolis, here is a pattern we've seen before: *DHS say officers were under threat. This justifies to use deadly force. *Subsequent reporting shows such claims simply don't hold up. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

See, it’s not hard to denounce this and toe it into the larger pattern of criminality.

Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela
