Federal funding for scientific research was already in turmoil.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., the ranking member of the Science Committee, said in a statement, “This is the latest stupid move made by a president who continues to harm science and American innovation. The NSB is apolitical. It advises the president on the future of NSF. It unfortunately is no surprise a president who has attacked NSF from day one would seek to destroy the board that helps guide the Foundation. Will the president fill the NSB with MAGA loyalists who won’t stand up to him as he hands over our leadership in science to our adversaries? A real bozo the clown move.”

      72% of Republicans think the US is going in the right direction. They are not just shrugging, they are applauding.

      It is pretty clear at this point that almost nothing Trump could do would lose their support. How can the US ever work if Republican voters are so utterly detached from reality? It is likely a symptom of corrupt media.
