Trump’s All-Out Assault on Science Constitutes a “Mind-Boggling Own-Goal”This story was originally published by the Guardian and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. A generation of scientific talent is at the brink of being lost to overseas competitors by the Trump administration’s dismantling of the National Science Foundation (NSF), with unprecedented political interference at the agency jeopardizing the future of US industries and economic growth, according to a Guardian investigation. The gold standard peer-reviewed process used by the NSF to support cutting-edge, high-impact science is being undermined by the chaotic cuts to staff, programs and grants, as well as meddling by the so-called department of government efficiency (DOGE), according to multiple current and former NSF employees who spoke with the Guardian. The scientists warn that Trump’s assault on diversity in science is already eroding the quality of fundamental research funded at the NSF, the premier federal investor in basic…

Man charged with killing former Minnesota House speaker says he looks forward to ‘truth’ coming …WIZMnews.com ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The man charged with killing former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband on June 14, and wounding a state senator and his wife, said Thursday that he’s looking forward to the facts coming out about what happened that day. During a court appearance, Vance Boelter waived his right to full hearings on whether he should remain jailed without bail, and on probable cause, where the judge would determine whether the government has enough evidence to proceed with prosecuting the case.

Boelter affirmed that he knowingly waived his rights to the full hearings he was entitled. “That gets us to court…

The Real Reason You’re Still on HoldThis article was featured in the One Story to Read Today newsletter. Sign up for it here.In hindsight I’ll say: I always thought going crazy would be more exciting—roaming the street in a bathrobe, shouting at fruit. Instead I spent a weary season of my life saying representative. Speaking words and numbers to robots. Speaking them again more clearly, waiting, getting disconnected, finally reaching a person but the wrong person, repeating my story, would I mind one more brief hold. May my children never see the emails I sent, or the unhinged delirium with which I pressed 1 for agent.I was tempted to bury the whole cretinous ordeal, except that I’d looked behind the curtain and vowed to document what I’d seen.It all began last July, here in San Francisco. I’d been driving to my brother’s house, going about 40 mph, when my family’s…

Crowd Laughs as Trump Makes Assassination Joke Over Loud Noises at RallyPresident Donald Trump drew laughter from a rally crowd when he joked about being assassinated in response to some loud noises. Hours after the passage of his so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” Trump held a rally at the  Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines and Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) was on hand to cover the festivities from end-to-end. RSBN co-hosts Robert McNeily and Christina Loren provided running commentary and interviewed members of the crowd and MAGA figures between speeches. The president’s speech featured many variations on familiar themes like hypothetical vehicular mayhem and the occasional assassination joke. An example of the latter occurred when Trump reacted to a distant bang, followed moments later by another: PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: 401Ks and retirement accounts just hit an all-time record high. CROWD: (CHEERS). PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: (TOUCHES EAR) Did I hear what I think…
