Buried lede: “The improved budgetary picture cannot undo the damage that the Trump administration’s frenzy of budget cutting and administrative chaos brought to the nation’s scientific establishment… the cycles of cuts and reinstatements as taking a toll that in some cases may require years to mend”

(1/X) The most popular thing leaders in either parties could do is throw an oligarch in jail. Srsly, would you blame someone for voting for Trump because Trump threw Zuck in the clink?
