Yes, for those of us willing to avail ourselves of information, even if it comes from traditional media, willing to speak out primary sources, able to deduce logical conclusions from behavior. There needs to be constant talking, pushback and aggressive media response to attract larger numbers.
Many people still think, even non-Trump supporters, that this is the same, that we made it through (most of us that is) his last administration and we will vote and return things to the norm. They need to understand that it’s different and that we must pushback and make this uncomfortable for GOP
The broligarchs are trashing everything because they are funneling money from us to them. If things get too hot here, they'll just go live somewhere else. It's end stage capitalism.
I get that, I just think there is room for pushing them to justify the cuts. I still feel there is some in roads to make them say out loud they have no plan or bad ones. Many of their voters may never get it, but maybe the other tech bros will freak about him seeing there taxes or IP?
Because Donald Trump was elected to dismantle the federal government, so that's what he's doing. Understaff/underfund departments, then when they inevitably fail, eliminate them.
I get that, I just feel like there is opportunity for push back on the narrative. Like people tell me two different reason why they are dismantling doe; one is to return it to the states the other is it’s not be dismantled, just housed under other agencies. Even his voters don’t understand
Putin's plan is working perfectly. He could not have conjured such a perfection of corruption as Trump. He and his white trash train of stupid is running at full tilt.
Follow Donvict’s lead. Let’s get rid of the Secret Service. Lay them all off today and don’t rehire them for six months. It’s not like actions have consequences or anything, right? Also, it could be a godson for humanity. Think of all that waste we will get rid of! 🙏
The good news is, Susan Collins just announced that she has received an exemption from closing Acadia National Park in Maine. I believe if you voted for it you should own it, Senator.
Where is big pharma? The automakers? The major health care providers? Are they not concerned about where the next generation of scientists, engineers or doctors will come from?
More likely your economically viable states would separate and become independent nations. Or Cascadia comes to fruition and becomes an economic powerhouse.
Ok NOT. NSF the organization and its institution did not fire these people. The administration did. By saying it was the institution it diminishes the civil servants good work and focuses the blame on the wrong actor.
Good job. Now those kids work for private industry at double the salary. And the tech the US thought they were going to leverage? It's 100 times more expensive. And not exclusive to the US.
Let’s restate this, the Republican Party via their President and Elon Musk has decimated scientific research. The American people will be sicker for this and these scientists will likely go to other countries to work.
Either they become private contractors charging more for the same services or the nation fails to foreign innovation. There is no actual cost saving by decimating 1% of the federal budget with cuts to the workforce.
Trump continues to undermine our country’s research future. Ironically, it was government funded research that helped create the foundation upon which these oligarchs made their billions. Now they want to pull the ladder up rather than support novel research. All take and no give.
SCIENCE ... it is always about the science/scientists ... this is how the bullies gonna show their idiocy ... the stupid ever trying to make others to appear more stupid than themselves ...
"We love the uneducated." so says Donald Trump (the wannabe king of the thugs around the world)
China was speeding past us in most areas. This will assure their supremacy. And quite fucking honestly, I do not fear the Chinese, but I am terrified of the MAGA Christofascists and their alliance with psycho TechFeudalists and their teenage bots.
The Trump Regime is trying to gut science, one of the few areas the US is #1 and frankly, unrivaled. It’s not only bad leadership; it’s bad business. This policy weakens our position globally against countries we have active tariffs against.
People think, oh so the grants were cut, no big deal. That means, the admin staff has less work, the client account manager loses a sale, the software technical engineer has less work, the software developer loses work, etc. Eventually, layoffs. It all trickles down.
They hate what they don't understand. You know, things like, working together for the common good. Sharing food with your neighbors. Helping keep children from starving in poorer countries. Those kinda frivolous things.

The sad part is they're still one of the most reputable news organizations in the US.
Do better, NPR.
Republican budget will add $25 trillion to our national debt.

Let's ask Elon and his pet Felon why no cuts or firings at the Pentagon?

This DOGE disaster has been, from the start, a MUSK CLUSTER TRUMP!!!
Do better NPR, you know how much words matter.
“NSF forced to layoff 168 employees by DOGE, leaving the agency less equipped to fund a wide range of scientific research.”
There ya go. 😘
