Trump Science Envoy Sends Secret I-M-P-E-A-C-H Message In Resignation Letter
The members of the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities included last week a secret message in a mass resignation letter to President Trump: The first letters of each paragraph, read in order, spelled the word “RESIST.”
State Department Science Envoy Daniel Kammen has shared a coded message of his own — and it’s even more direct.
In an August 23 letter of resignation addressed to Trump, which Kammen shared on his Twitter account, the director of the Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley criticized Trump on several fronts.
Mr. President, I am resigning as Science Envoy. Your response to Charlottesville enables racism, sexism, & harms our country and planet. pic.twitter.com/eWzDc5Yw6t

But perhaps more to the point, the first letters of the letter’s seven paragraphs spell the word “IMPEACH.”
Kammen, the son of cultural historian Michael Kammen, had served in various capacities in the State Department, the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency since 1996.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
