A good summary of today's Minibus Package from #Congress #Appropriations (both sides) includes for #NASA. I have not had time to parse the Minibus myself as of yet, but will provide additional detail, particularly in terms of #heliophysics impacts, in a follow up post. spacenews.com/minibus-prov...

FOX NEWS: What are your expectations when you get briefings from senior Trump administration officials in the coming days? GALLEGO: Well, they're just gonna lie

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Everybody is looking forward to the next No Kings Day in the spring. The official date will be announced once we land this with the full No Kings coalition, but trust us that it’s coming. And we can’t wait, either. ❌👑

#AGU25: @agu.org has provided a system to quickly contact your representatives to show your support for #NCAR @ncar-ucar.bsky.social. There are already over 10k who have taken action. Follow the link below to begin! agu.quorum.us/campaign/151... #SaveNCAR #SupportNCAR #SaveScience

‼️ALERT‼️ The Administration is now targeting #NCAR, claiming it spreads federal climate alarmism. I reject the premise that climate science is alarmist. But NCAR enables much more science research NCAR than that. Closure would be devastating, including for #heliophysics at @colorado.edu and HAO.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

We don’t have to choose — we can win the midterms *AND* build a Democratic Party that actually fights for us: indivisible2026.org/?utm_source=bluesky

Spotify is helping ICE recruit more agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities. We’re calling on users to stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops running ads for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

University of Viginia's ex-President James Ryan explaining his 12-page letter, which documents events that led up to his resignation: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26... "I didn’t have time to make it as concise as it should be." Also known as, "If I had more time I would have said less.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

#StanfordTeachIn #AcademicFreedom #Nov6 There's a teach in at Stanford tomorrow on academic freedom aimed at students, faculty and staff but in a plaza open to the public

This is what oligarchy looks like: If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break. If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry. Obscene.

🚨BREAKING: After my team defeated them in court on Monday, Republicans have filed a motion to drop their latest lawsuit to block Virginia redistricting. Overall, the GOP and their proxies are now 0-2 in Virginia and 0-5 in California. www.democracydocket.com/cases/virgin...

YES ON 50!! #yeson50 #vote #youpokedthebear #california #savedemocracy

A few things to be aware of today (besides election results): 1) CNN is far from my favorite news source, but not many outlets are talking about this yet. Contacts at #gsfc have confirmed that this is very much a source of concern right now. www.cnn.com/2025/11/04/s... @roguenasa.altgov.info

‼️CALLING ALL SCIENTISTS‼️ 👀 "How Scientists Can Stand Up for Democracy" 📌 Virtual Science Advocacy Training by @ucs.org 📅 Thursday, November 20; noon-1pm pacific @agu.org @aas.org @planetarysociety.bsky.social #science #SaveScience #SaveDemocracy #scientist #democracy #trustscience

@housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov Too many lines have been crossed. Shut this down.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

Time for folks to get out their #folsomstreetfair gear and celebrate city-wide in #sanfrancisco #Pride #sfbayarea #nonviolence #resistance #NONVIOLENTRESISTANCE @indivisiblesf.bsky.social @50501sf.bsky.social www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

I thought #UniversityofVirginia was standing up and had already said no to the compact, but apparently they are reconsidering? STUDENTS, STAFF, FACULTY, ALUMNI, DONORS - TAKE ACTION NOW! Call #UVA to tell them to continue rejecting the compact! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Amazing to see these universities standing up! But the list is too small. More need to stand up to the dismantling of higher education. #DefendHigherEd #NoKings

We always get these huge Trump announcements with much media hype and fanfare with lots of big promises and assurances, effusively praising himself looking for awards & prizes, while experts say the details are scarce or nonexistent. Then a short time later we get the reality.

@uarizona.bsky.social STANDING UP!! At the same time, @arizonastateuni.bsky.social gets sent the compact. 👀 Still waiting to see what @utaustin.bsky.social and #Vanderbilt University do with this moment... #StrongerTogether #SaveHigherEd www.axios.com/local/phoeni...
