"After attacking Donald Trump’s trade adviser, Elon Musk was silent when Trump paused some tariffs. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell asks, “When did Elon Musk know that his stock price was going to start climbing back up because Donald Trump was going to announce that he was backing down?”

Maine State Library issues layoffs, cites inability to access federal funding
The Maine State Library announced Wednesday 13 staff members, whose positions are supported by federal funding, were laid off.

April 9, 2025

"The Maine State Library announced layoffs on Wednesday, citing an ongoing inability to access federal funding.

"The announcement comes after President Donald #Trump signed an executive order in March deeming the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) 'unnecessary' and slated to be dismantled, later placing the entire agency's staff on administrative leave.

"The Maine State Library said in a news release that IMLS funding represents 30 percent of its annual budget and has not received any communication from IMLS on if or when funding might be restored.

"The state library said it last received funds from its 2025 federal award advance through the IMLS on March 24.

"Thirteen employees whose positions are supported by federal funding have been laid off, the state library said. Those employees represent approximately 30 percent of Maine State Library staff.

"The Maine State Library said the layoffs could be rescinded if funding is restored.

"Starting on Thursday, the Maine State Library will close for a two-week reorganization period where its location at 242 State St. in Augusta will not be open to the public.

"'Losing access to this Federal funding harms Maine residents and will have negative consequences in communities across the state," Maine State Librarian #LoriFisher said in the release. 'Despite these significant cuts, the Maine State Library remains committed to advancing the mission of libraries in Maine and to serving every library patron to the best of our ability.'

"In 2024, the Maine State Library says it received $1,526,754 from the #IMLS Library Services and Technology Act Grants to States program which supports services including #HighSpeedInternet for public libraries; #InterlibraryLoans, #EBooks, and #audiobooks; services for #VisuallyImpaired patrons; and professional development for library staff.

"The library says it is continuing to evaluate the range of impacts on library services from the funding cuts and hopes to provide further updates as they become available.

"Following Trump's executive order, Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey joined 20 other attorneys general in a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from dismantling a handful of agencies, including the IMLS."

To increase #knowledge and #community exchange between underground labs, I am trying to make sure that folks at #SNOLAB can participate in seminars hosted at other labs. Not all labs stream them, but some do.

Tomorrow, the Sanford Underground Research Facility has its next "Deeper Talk" event. Folks at @snolabscience.bsky.social can gather in the auditorium at 11am ET on Wednesday to watch!

There's a very famous quote from a French movie that says: "Les cons ça ose tout. C'est même à ça qu'on les reconnaît."

In English: "Morons, they do anything they feel like doing. Actually that's how you spot them."

Republicans certainly fit the definition.
