🚨 Meteorologists are sounding the alarm: severe weather forecasts are already slipping due to staffing cuts at the National Weather Service. Lives are on the line. 📉 Forecast quality down ⏱️ Lead times shorter ⚠️ Systems stretched thin Call Congress now—demand they fully restore NOAA.

Oh hey! We support this bill!

This is chilling. Non-profits need to band together with universities and other institutions to protect our right to criticize our own government and their actions - no matter who is in charge at any given time. That's the American way. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This seems bad. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

We are not backing down from the fight for clean water. Rather than working for the people, the administration is catering to mega-corporations and their billionaire CEOs at the expense of the environment and people’s health. @riverkeeper.org www.riverkeeper.org/news-and-eve...

Solved the microplastics problem

I've joined TikTok! Please follow me as I embarrass myself and hopefully reach new audiences with clean water policy nuggets from Planet Albany. www.tiktok.com/@jeremychers...

The warming atmosphere is increasing heavy rain and flooding. We must empower NY water authorities with policy tools to address the stormwater crisis. My bill (S4071) enables them to adopt innovative strategies to make communities “Rain Ready.” Thank you to the Senate Majority for your support.

Big wins for clean water in NY’s budget proposals in race to deadline. 💧 $700M/$600M for water infrastructure 💧 $9.5M for Hudson River Programs(+$2M!) 💧 $500M for the Environmental Protection Fund Now we need Gov. Hochul to hit "accept" to lock it in! www.riverkeeper.org/news-and-eve...

Dude. I'm running out of adjectives for sheer self-own of the U.S. right now. We are being stripped and sold for parts. The know nothings are winning. Sagan's warnings were 100% accurate.

"Ozempic owes its success 2 research N2 Gila monster venom, which after 4 decades of investigatn, finally gave rise to GLP-1s, drugs that hold promise in transforming #publichealth & are already shifting the economy. If silliness be the proxy 4 edge science, play on — give us excess of it." #MedSky

🗞️ "Later this year, Riverkeeper will roll out a more robust version of its public monitoring program at more than 200 locations in the river and its tributaries." Read more: ⬇️

Absolutely shocking and very worrying from NOAA www.newscientist.com/article/2469...

The US National Science Foundation is set to lose 1/4 to 1/2 of its staff: www.eenews.net/articles/sci...

Trump is purging vital scientific data, including a climate-justice tool for the health and financial well-being of millions of Americans. There's a Data Dunkirk saving this data, but there shouldn't have to be 🎁 link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

The CDC weekly report the Trump admin. paused was expected to cover a study on whether veterinarians treating cows had bird flu. Another stalled report shows cases in which people carrying bird flu may have infected cats.Read the @kffhealthnews.bsky.social story by @amymaxmen.bsky.social on @cnn.com

Apparently all the PhD researchers holding prestigious NSF-funded research fellowships are having their salaries withheld until some unspecified time when the leadership figures out how to eliminate any grant funding that doesn’t align with the president’s political ideology.

For real? This can't be real? Is this legal? Highway funding based on birthrates?

Had a great time advocating for the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act with @beyondplastics.bsky.social and @riverkeeper.org on Tuesday. Very grateful for the volunteers from Westchester County who came up to make their voices heart. And thanks to Senate Sepulveda for supporting!

Science, Silenced: For the first time in 60+ years, one of CDC’s flagship scientific publications—the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR)—was not published yesterday as scheduled following the Trump administration's gag order earlier this week. www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi...

PASSED: The Water Resources Development Act (WRDA)! Passing WRDA unlocks vital water-related projects that drive our economy forward, strengthen waterways, help communities mitigate flood damage, protect fragile ecosystems, and more.

The US EPA issued a ban this week on TCE and PCE, dry cleaning chemicals that infamously contaminated Camp Lejeune's drinking water for decades. www.thenewlede.org/2024/12/us-e...

Woah, indeed. First state court to make such a determination? And Montana no less.

There is so much to unpack in this article but the most important takeaway is that @nysfocus.bsky.social doing work that no other outlet has dared to approach. This desperately needs more sunlight & I hope this is the first in a series that digs deeper because this should be understood as a crisis.

Incredibly excited to see our longshot bid to bring additional federal resources to the Mohawk River make it into the final WRDA 2024. Proud of the team at @riverkeeper.org and our representatives for securing this clean water win! tonko.house.gov/news/documen...

Sadly, this very well could be the fate of the US car industry under the incoming administration.

New York could see more frequent and destructive wildfires like the ones that torched over 6,000 acres in the last few weeks. But the state doesn’t have enough forest rangers and firefighters to respond to the growing threat. nysfocus.com/2024/11/26/n...

I'm trying to tell people that rollbacks of environmental and climate laws are not inevitable. Yes, executive branch can do enormous damage but we are in damage control and a zero margin house is as good as it gets for stopping permanent changes to law & future regs - congressional review act!

Fish are cool. And super bizarre.
