Obama Presses Case for Asia Trade Deal, Warns Failure Would Benefit China - The Wall Street Journal // Gerald F. Seib Mr. Obama and his negotiators are working to finish the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade deal among 12 Pacific nations that has come to be known as TPP, while also fighting to win "fast track" negotiating authority from Congress to expedite approval of the deal later this year. Decline in U.S. science spending threatens economy, security: MIT - Reuters // Sharon Begley Warning of an "innovation deficit," scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say declining government spending on basic research is holding back potentially life-saving advances in 15 fields, from robotics and fusion energy to Alzheimer's disease and agriculture. DOT secretary: U.S. transportation system 'in a huge ditch' - Politico // Heather Caygle "We've had catastrophes, and it's unfortunate that we've had to have catastrophes," Foxx told POLITICO's Mike Allen at a Playbook Lunch event, mentioning the 2007 Interstate 35 bridge collapse in Minneapolis that killed 13 people. "I think, frankly, the American public have to demand action in Washington." Op-Ed: Nobody Said That - The New York Times // Paul Krugman Imagine yourself as a regular commentator on public affairs -- maybe a paid pundit, maybe a supposed expert in some area, maybe just an opinionated billionaire. You weigh in on a major policy initiative that's about to happen, making strong predictions of disaster.

But nothing you predicted actually comes to pass. What do you do? Op-Ed: We can no longer delay action on climate change - Miami Herald // Barack Obama Last week I spent Earth Day in the Everglades, one of our nation's greatest national treasures, and saw firsthand what makes its unique landscape so magical -- what the poet Emma Lazarus called "the savage splendor of the swamp." Plus, I got to hang out with Bill Nye the Science Guy. "There are no other Everglades in the world," wrote Marjory Stoneman Douglas, who helped preserve it. But climate change is threatening this treasure and the communities that depend on it. That's what my visit was all about.
