1) The Aministration's proposed 2026 budget would eliminate NOAA’s Oceanic & Atmospheric Research—gutting labs that protect us from hurricanes, wildfire smoke, tsunamis & more. It just passed the Senate. Everything is at stake in this proposed budget. Call your Rep NOW at (202) 224-3121
Woman in white protective body suit looks off to the right of the image. The image displays the New York Times Logo with the title: Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades". Then the quote "You can't have science without scientists" from Rep Zoe Lofgren of House Science, Space, and Technology Committee
National Science Foundation (NSF) grants given to fund research are down 50%, the lowest in 30+ years.
1,600+ grants cut.
STEM education down 80%.
Innovation & the future of science at risk.

This weekend, tornadoes killed 28 people—19 in Kentucky alone. The NWS Jackson, KY office, facing a 31% staffing shortage, had no overnight forcasters for the first time. Tornadoes don't wait till morning.
Cuts to federal science cost lives.

A graphic featuring a dramatic photo of a wildfire blazing in a forest beside a road with cars and emergency cones. Overlaid is a New York Times headline: “All Authors Working on Flagship U.S. Climate Report Are Dismissed.” Subheadline reads: “The Trump administration told researchers it was ‘releasing’ them from their roles. It puts the future of the assessment, which is required by Congress, in doubt.” At the bottom left is the IMPACTS logo with a colorful polygonal brain and text reading: “The consequences to shuttering America’s science & tech workforce are real.
