Rep. Neguse Calls For Inspector General Investigation Into OMB, National Science Foundation & Allegations of Potential Sale of NCAR to For-Profit Corporation Washington, D.C. — Today, Colorado Congressman Joe Neguse wrote to the Inspector General of the National Science Foundation (NSF) and demanded an independent investigation into allegations of potentia...

This is potentially huge. A whistleblower reported that OMB officials proposed transferring NCAR’s space weather program to a private, for-profit company, violating NSF’s public comment period and statutory limits.

This was a snowy afternoon project with where I had limited data and had to make assumptions that are weak. But tldr, if the 2024 margins held up in 2026, not enough people would be disenfranchised for republicans to lose in swing states.

This made me scared that they actually have done the math.

I ran the numbers to see how the number of women, marriage, passports, and voting rates might shift who could vote. I only used publicly available data from the 2024 election, census and state department. The act would disenfranchise people, but not enough to change who was elected president.

I buy a lot of bigger home things furniture used but good quality and condition, take care of them, and ten resell if I no longer like the style or they don’t fit my space.

Vizlas are so funny. They are either under the covers or going top speed.

What exactly should Americans do beyond protesting, calling our elected officials, speaking up where we can, caring for our neighbors who are threatened by the regime, and voting?

Most Americans do not want this, but our leaders are failing us and our institutions are crumbling.

First year PhD life. Submitted my first abstract for a conference. Survived midterms. Led union bargaining. Parented. Ate rice for dinner (PhD stipends only go so far). Danced, a lot, as that’s how I stay sane.

I’m a parent who was hesitant about vaccines 20 years ago because of the things I read online and heard from friends. Our family pediatrician listened compassionately without questioning my love for my kids or my intelligence, and gently gave me evidence to make a better decision. Your words matter.

Our economy is bleeding jobs. Prices are up, especially for gas. Yet the White House prioritizes tax cuts for billionaires, while launching a reckless new Middle East war.

It doesn't have to stay this way - not if the American people make our voices heard.

Republicans voted for war and against the American people. Against the constitution.

I want to walk you through why it’s nearly certain Trump’s Iran War is going to be a massive, deadly, trillion dollar failure. And why you should be furious he’s set us on this path.

This is a bad take. We need people in the military who have the the character to stand up to injustice. We need leaders in the military right now who will follow their oath to the constitution, leaders who will speak up and protect both civilians and the troops whom they lead.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

No war with Iran.

There was no imminent threat. There is no clear objective.

I will NOT support a war of choice that puts American lives in harm’s way.

Iran hasn’t killed thousands of Americans, period. Congresswoman Luna is lying.

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

There are lots of examples in e-commerce giving consumers the choice to have a lower impact or to offset emissions. I don’t know if those have had an impact at scale or how frequently consumers choose to say offset their flight emissions or skip plastic flatware with their takeout.

Another example are tools that allow people to map cycling, walking or transit routes. Helpful in daily navigation, but also in deciding where to live. My team at Realtor built a tool to search by walk, bike and transit commute times.

Making climate risk data available on maps or in scores that are a specific to a persons location or property is important. It allows people and companies to adapt and make better decisions. I led the work to add climate data to Realtor.com in partnership with First Street Foundation.

And yet I am buried under 3 feet of snow in Rhode Island, running out of milk and coffee while we wait for the snow plow.
