OMB director Russ Vought has officially begun carrying out his section of Project 2025. Technical thread to follow, but it’s really important - this is a major path through which the Trump administration will illegally impound funding, refusing to carry out some of our spending laws.

Since the invasive golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) appeared in California's Central Valley Delta in Oct 2024, we've been finding more and more in new situations. This past Tuesday near Stockton, it was on an old steak bone and inside the shell of another invader, the clam Corbicula fluminea.

WOW. NSF's page about climate and their decades long tracking of global temperatures is gone. I had hyperlinked to it for a piece I'm writing for @theconversation.com and now... POOF. VANISHED... replaced with a generic page about NSF topics, none of which is CLIMATE. new.nsf.gov/focus-areas/...
