Will active DOD R&D efforts be hurt by this? Does DOD really have $8b in R&D money laying around to raid?

Congress fundamentally is an advisory body today. Legislation isn't worth the paper it is printed on

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.

Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

Every sign marks yet another step toward authoritarianism. wapo.st/4nJqjZQ

I mean I'm glad Trump didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize but I am not super excited that the person who did win it has been going "Mr Trump please murder more Venezuelan fishermen with American missiles" since it was announced
