Heartbreaking
something that stands out about this is just how cheap it is for us to have world-leading scientific capacity
we spent ~6.75 trillion last year, and the combined budgets for NIH, NSF and NASA are barely more than 1% of that
what an incredible waste to lose it all for a drop in the bucket

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 have included 300 MILLION in the budget for......Trump's golf trips.
You heard that right. But there is no money to feed hungry kids school lunch. #TrumpsBillWillKill

1/4 🤬 The Supreme Court just handed DOGE terrifying power. It granted access to the Social Security Administration’s most sensitive records—without accountability.
This is not merely a privacy catastrophe—it is a direct assault on transparency and public accountability

So true ☹️
So Harvard must follow Trump’s DEI ban—but they also must admit more conservative students.
That’s laughable. Students from red states won’t be able to compete with students from the real world when they’re being taught the Bible is a history book and enslaved people were “happy workers”.

Trump trying to distract America with plans for a new $100,000,000 White House BALLROOM
While he STRIPS AWAY health care, food assistance, veterans benefits, Meals on Wheels and basic human rights from MILLIONS OF AMERICANS
And saddles US with another $2,400,000,000 worth of debt

Very sad indeed.
Not at this moment, but we will be again.
We're no longer the leader of the free world. We're no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We're no longer the land of opportunity. We're no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do?

What an ass hole! How about he proves HE matters. What is he anyway, an afternoon talk show host!?!
Since Dr. Oz never mattered anyway, I won't be attending his death panel (should it ever come to it).
Dr. Oz wants to turn American healthcare into the Hunger Games: prove you can survive or go without lifesaving healthcare. His remarks towards our veterans, seniors and children that rely on Medicaid are flat idiotic and cruel.

Get out your Ouija boards red states! Those hurricanes will be hitting soon. But where???
Trump and Elon just began firing hundreds of NOAA workers serving “mission-critical and life-saving roles.”
These climate experts and forecasters are crucial to tracking natural disasters like hurricanes.
Make no mistake, their terminations will cause preventable deaths.

FFS America we cannot let Trump and his MAGA administration define us. We are better than this bullshit!
We are supposed to be that beacon of light of Democracy, not a pawn of Putin.
This is OUR country, not Trumps and his disciples. We all need to speak up and speak out and call BULLSHIT!!

#BlueEarth The physical laws governing the Earth's climate system remain constant, unaffected by human opinion or ideology, making climate change a tangible and objective threat regardless of our acceptance of it.

Yes, it was an ambush.
A pre-planned, pre-meditated attack by an American administration on a democratically-elected ally visiting the Oval Office, all in order to please a Russian dictator.

Agreed!
It is important that people understand and accept as fact that our government is compromised. I don't mean compromised in some cloak-and-dagger sense, I simply mean that this government no longer accepts core democratic principles and is angling toward an autocracy that's part of a New Axis of Evil.
