The scientists responsible for crucial fish and wildlife research projects in the West might be next in line for the Trump administration’s chopping block to improve government efficiency. from @highcountrynews.bsky.social via @climatedesk.org

No mention that it was illegal use of federal property

“Johns Hopkins has bet very heavily on a century and a quarter of partnership with the federal government. If the federal government decides it doesn’t want to know things anymore, that would be bad for Johns Hopkins and devastating for Maryland.”
