Excellent summary FDOTM. It’s still ‘low confidence’ on the southerly movement - we need better models - but 2 Australian tropical cyclones in 5 years (Seroja and Alfred) outside the national construction code tropical cyclone zone is a tad worrying. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What a surreal experience to be leading a workshop for education researchers on how to write about their research, in a building directly across from the US Capitol, and wake up to discover that the entire national education statistical staff has been fired.

The partisan House R funding bill does nothing to stop Trump and Musk’s dismantling critical services. In fact, it makes things worse w/deeper cuts that will hurt veterans, seniors, & families.

Honest question: why should Congress vote for a Republican budget bill to fund federal agencies when the Executive branch is ignoring past appropriations, and shut down those very agencies? Trump owns this shutdown. @SenateDems.gov #VoteNo

The Constitution gives the power of the purse to Congress — not the President, and definitely not an unelected billionaire. This Republican spending bill hands over the keys to Trump and Musk, completely disregarding our Constitution.

Trump and Elon Musk are firing thousands of Education Department workers — the agency that distributes funding to high-poverty schools. Republicans are cutting off education from poor kids, all so they can pass a giant tax cut for billionaires. www.cnn.com/2025/03/11/p...

This unelected billionaire is LYING about Social Security AGAIN. TAKE NOTE: Elon Musk is spreading insane conspiracy theories in plain view so he can go after the Social Security benefits you pay into your entire life. NO cuts to Social Security benefits OR staff!

During the worst measles outbreak in DECADES, we ABSOLUTELY must invest funding, time, & energy toward understanding why some Americans are hesitant to get the vaccines they need. We want people to get vaccinated so they don't die. It makes NO sense to eliminate this research.

A clear alternative to the House GOP funding plan is to pass my short-term bill with @delauro.house.gov to prevent a shutdown & finish work on bipartisan funding bills that invest in workers, keep our country safe, & ensure our constituents have a say in how federal funding is spent.

Trump is singularly responsible for tanking the economy. Launching an incoherent trade war and raising prices. Threatening to upend state budgets with massive cuts to Medicaid. Massive arbitrary federal layoffs. That's all on Trump.

There is a reason why Elon and Russ Vought want Congress to pass Speaker Johnson's slush fund CR. We should not let Elon and Trump pick winners and losers or defund programs they either don't like or don't understand. They will hurt blue AND red states. VOTE NO.

The bill the House is voting on today is House Republicans’ own doing—and it is a dumpster fire. So, I am sounding the alarm about this fire before it spreads. We can STILL pass my short-term CR and negotiate full year funding bills.

House Republicans are NOT trying to responsibly fund the government. They are trying to turn it into a slush fund for Trump and Musk to wield as they see fit—so they can shift their focus entirely to tax cuts for billionaires.

Think about what passing a slush fund CR will mean: what happens when Trump cuts staffing at national parks in your backyard because your Governor won’t deny climate change? Or you can’t get a bridge replaced because the political appointees at DOT don’t like a particular mayor?

We have already seen how Trump will threaten to cut off states and cities that disagree with him—and how Elon will warp government to benefit his companies and hurt his competitors. Voting against this CR is about our ability to be a voice for our constituents here in Congress.

This is about breaking government for working families—and enriching billionaires like Elon & Trump in the process. Students, families, and teachers in every part of the country will pay the price for Trump’s slash and burn campaign to destroy public education in America.

The erosion of trust in science & scientists — sometimes due to complex social/historical factors but often deliberately perpetrated by charlatans — has tragic, deadly consequences, and, if unchecked, is an existential threat to society.
