Five Republicans joined with Senate Democrats today to take a step forward in checking President Trump's unlawful actions in Venezuela - but we need everyone to stand up and use your voice to demand the Senate assert our Constitutional authority over the use of military force.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

This is a good visual. Looks like in order to ensure we have proof that we mailed something on a specific day, we will have to stand in line at the post office and request a manual post mark.

One of the big benefits of social media is rallying community and I am sure that helped in this case. I am so happy to see PRI live on…

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

What's NCAR? and 8 ways it has helped you www.forbes.com/sites/marsha...

For people represented by Republicans who want ways to talk about NCAR's work when calling, NCAR's description of research benefits is good. Monitoring space weather to protect the grid, predicting wildfires, travel safety, agriculture, hail, tornadoes, hurricanes... researchworks.ucar.edu

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

A deeply dangerous — and blatantly retaliatory action against Colorado — by the Trump administration. NCAR is one of the most renowned scientific facilities in the WORLD — where scientists perform cutting-edge research everyday. We will fight this reckless directive with every legal tool we have.

NSF now planning to let POs largely decide what gets funded, and to send PIs reviews that are only 3-5 sentences long. They don't have to use outside reviewers (except maybe 1) and don't have to convene panels. (1/5)

🌊 Our latest study reconstructs the tropical Indian Ocean during the mid-Pliocene - a past warm world with CO2 similar to today. A reminder that future oceans may reorganise in ways that reshape ecosystems and the carbon cycle. IODP EXP361 cp.copernicus.org/articles/21/...

This year, the NSF funded 35% fewer grants in geoscience, with 25% less money. Meanwhile, the Office of the Director spent almost three times as much money as in a regular year. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Every year around Thanksgiving, I see tons of grad students post heartbreaking messages on social media about how their loved ones don’t understand or support their decision to study what seems like something pointless or silly. Perhaps my American Scientist essay can help! 🧪🌎🦑 #SciComm

CPL is an absolute palace to the people and these proposed cuts are abominable. Artificial austerity. Chicago folks, read this, check the links to bug the mayor and your alders—this can be fought and won.

I've been avoiding reading articles on the death of James Watson, co-discoverer of #DNA's structure. That is, until I saw that @statnews.com published one by Sharon Begley, a renowned science writer who passed in 2021. Yes, you read that right. www.statnews.com/2025/11/07/j... 🧪 (1/5)

a live look at the demolition of the White House's East Wing for Trump's ballroom

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

“The Monday filing outlines where 2,050 positions would be eliminated; the U.S. Geological Survey, the Bureau of Land Management, and the main Interior office would be especially hard hit. Regional offices with the National Park Service are also targeted for significant cuts.”

When PA gave Shell a whopping $1.65 billion subsidy to build a plastics plant, officials promised an economic boom. Thirteen years later, the plant is up and running, but the area is still in decline, and Shell wants out. Important story:
