A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

Trump’s #NationalClimateAssessment: No funding and all authors cut loose
Two weeks after cutting funding for the organization that coordinates the report's production, Trump informed all authors working on it that their services are no longer needed.
"The scope of the #NCA6 is currently being reevaluated," and "We are now releasing all current assessment participants from their roles."
The assessment is required by #Congress, but administration is not noted for caring.

At issue in the dispute over #Trump's dismissals of Cathy Harris from the Merit Systems Protection Board [#MSPB] & Gwynne Wilcox from the National #Labor Relations Board [#NLRB] is whether safeguards passed by #Congress to prevent ofcls in these posts from being fired w/o cause encroach on #PresidentialAuthority set out in the US #Constitution. Harris & Wilcox were appointed by the Republican president's Democratic predecessor Joe #Biden, & both had years left on their terms.

#SCOTUS may shape #Trump's ability to fire #Fed chair

When SCOTUS rules on Trump's effort to remove 2 federal labor board members, #FederalReserve Chair #JeromePowell will be watching for clues about his own job.

Trump's firings of 2 #Democratic #labor board members despite legal protections for the positions has emerged as a key test of his efforts to bring under his sway #FederalAgencies meant by #Congress to be #independent from a president's direct control.
