The FAA is facing its first major aviation disaster in 16 years without a leader because Elon Musk helped push him out. The former FAA administrator stepped down on Jan. 20th after Musk called on him to resign. Musk was angry after the FAA fined SpaceX for failing to get approval for launch changes.

#NIH accounts for 47 billion = 25% of US federal research funding, essential for their world-leading position in bio-medical research.
Trump just shut it down.
No foreign adversary in their wildest wet dream could achieve such a devastating act of traitorous sabotage with a stroke of a pen.

Communications shutdown. Travel ban. Canceled study sections. Now a hiring freeze?
Shutting down the NIH indefinitely without stated cause is literally an act of sabotage.
Left: yesterday. Right: today.
