There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Republicans' scorched-earth budget sacrifices our public lands for billionaire tax cuts. Their efforts put at risk:

🏣 60,000+ good-paying clean energy jobs
