Trump White House budget proposal eviscerates science funding at NASA β€œThis would decimate American leadership in space.”…

Hey! It's bad! arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...

2/3 cut in astrophysics
2/3 cut in heliophysics
50% cut in Earth science
30% cut in planetary science

This is just such an incredible self-own, what are we doing?

If you look at DOGE's receipts, one of their main "cost savings" was in subscriptions.

Otherwise, it's mostly garbage.

I have fired
the bureaucrats

As a liberal Democrat, of course I’m concerned about some of the things that Trump is doing. But I need another month of complaining about wokeness and Latinx before I start saying anything about these things.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Elon is impotent from a botched implant surgery. That is why he hates gender affirming care.
