There it is.
The new administration's first ("skinny", meaning top-line) budget request.
NASA gets cut by $6.32 billion—down to $18.56 billion, or a 25.4% cut.
Gone is SLS, Gateway, and the entire Mars Sample Return project.

it’s not legal to drop them there yet.
My calculation for the cut is based on the enacted FY24 budget, essentially held flat for FY25, and sourced from here:

Musk and company are fans of big dumb rocket, even though that's not going to get to mars in any reasonable time.

But who needs research on say … the heliosphere to protect satellites, power grids and our communications from dangers posed by the sun? Or to protect astronauts ?
I can see SpaceX bearing the brunt of whiplash once, and if, sanity returns to government.
Narcissistic authoritarian sociopathic pathological liar tyrant wannabe king is bankrupting our government by dismantling, weakening it and tanking global economy so he can have COMPLETE CONTROL. Fascist oligarchy can't survive when confronted with worker solidarity! Nip them in the bud. NOW!
