Cancelling contracts and blocking staff from travelling: Trump's actions have essentially cut off staff from working on IPCC. This affects staff working on roughly 1/3 of the next IPCC report.😥 Hopefully IPCC can minimize the impacts and the scientists can find other ways to collaborate.🤞

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

The constant dynamic in Trump 1.0 was people in the admin telling Trump “you shouldn’t do that;” sometimes that was because it would be politically dicey, or illegal or violate vital norms. But sometimes it was just because it was a very very stupid idea that would blow up in everyone’s face.
