The Trump administration is doubling down on its "Fork in the Road" offer to federal employees. Trump has a history of stiffing workers—and there is NO guarantee you will get paid through September 30 as promised.

Maybe by the fifth “Fork in the Road” email the author will learn periods go inside parentheses. Also December 131, 2025? Someone should use that as a loophole. Do we think novelist Amanda Scales is the typo-prone author of these? Can we blame BigBalls and the Rye Day School?

“The world that they want to shape—to go back to before Me Too—is one where consent really doesn’t mean much. And we go back to an ethos that says it’s fine for powerful men to do whatever they want,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on the many Trump cabinet picks accused of sexual misconduct.

It's impossible to overstate how much @laurahelmuth.bsky.social has shaped science journalism for the better. She is a fiercely dedicated and skilled editor and a compassionate leader with an unshakeable moral compass. I've turned to Laura as a mentor & friend for my entire career and always will.

Every story linked in this thread demonstrates the ways in which Laura has been a creative, inspiring, genius EIC. The news that she is leaving is crushing.
