Great article from EDUCAUSE. I appreciate the hopeful tone in that higher ed leaders can face these challenges er.educause.edu/articles/202...

✈️👀 A traditional ICE Air landed around 2 AM at Guantanamo after passing through Harlingen, El Paso, and Miami and now appears to be on the way for a deportation in Central America. Recently they have been to Nicaragua from Gitmo, have to watch.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

Good.

Did you know that $100M in food aid is rotting in warehouses that could feed the entire population of Gaza for a month and half, but a 28-year-old at DOGE is holding it hostage? www.reuters.com/world/us-aid...

Moody’s misses the point. 1) A federal deficit *IS* by definition a non-govt surplus—more $ in private & foreign sectors. 2) Interest pmts also flow to bondholders (pensions, banks etc), boosting incomes. How’s injecting demand into economy a DOWNGRADE risk? This is basic sectoral balances #EconSky

Moody’s Ratings downgraded the United States’ credit rating, as the country’s debt soars and interest rates remain high. The downgrade, from the highest rating to one notch below, comes as the president’s budget bill suffered a blow in Congress.

This is beyond disgusting, have they no conscience or compassion? This is immigrants’ life—not a game show. apple.news/AjHdWHyq8Ram...

Globally, one nurse in seven and nearly a quarter in high-income countries are foreign-born, highlighting reliance on international migration. More in the State of the World’s Nursing Report 👉 bit.ly/4dcr5dz #InternationalNursesDay

Duffy’s full of it. Pete Buttigieg and Dems pushed to modernize our air traffic control system under Biden—Republicans in Congress blocked it. The Trump administration’s been too busy blaming DEI instead of fixing the real problems.

Just remember: if this is how ICE treats the mayor of the largest city in New Jersey, how badly are they treating the people they’re still detaining?

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court BLOCKS the Trump administration’s unlawful reorganization of the federal government. Congratulations to @democracyforward.org, their co-counsel and clients on their amazing work in securing this victory.

NEW: Our FOIA lawsuit revealed ICE is contracting more than 22,000 beds with the private prison corporation GEO Group for immigration detention across the country. This is the first time ICE has disclosed GEO's vast detention capacity spanning 20 facilities.

Your School House Rock moment......

At NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, Manhattan, they specialize in planetary climates — especially Earth's. The White House decided not to renew their building lease — where they’ve been for 64 years. NASA’s total funding is 0.3% of the Federal Budget. Just saying.

There are still a lot of questions swirling around the executive order on "dangerous gain-of-function" research that Trump signed yesterday. I've written up for @science.org what we know so far and what it might mean for infectious disease research. #IDsky 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...
