Commerce Secretary Lutnick announced yesterday that he is taking back ~ $4 million of funding to Princeton University intended to study the effects and risks of climate change, global warming, water availability, and rising sea levels since those objectives do not meet Trump’s new goals for NOAA.

From the article: "For years, White House press conferences included sign language interpreters for the deaf.

"No longer. Interpreters have been noticeably absent from Trump administration press briefings, advocacy groups say. Gone, too, are the American Sign Language interpretations that used to appear on the White House’s YouTube channel. A White House webpage on accessibility, whitehouse.gov/accessibility, has also ceased working.

"From halting diversity programs that benefit people with disabilities to staffing cuts at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Trump administration has taken a slew of actions that harm those with impairments or chronic health conditions. Decades of hard-fought gains risk being undone by cuts to federal programs, freezes on research funding, and a White House ban on practices that support diversity."
