Uh... What about the EarthScope data center?
I hesitate to ask about the USGS. Hopefully no DOGE programmers trying to recode their seismographic network to exclude foreign seismographs.
The @washingtonpost.com has also picked up the story:
Staff members at a division of NOAA have been told this week to stop all contact with foreign nationals, including on international treaties and seafood catch limits
