Some accountability for one criminal Republican. BUT... Why is he still free? He was convicted a year ago! And he still has another 2 months to remain free even after he is sentenced?! He's obviously a flight risk.

From NYT "The Trump administration has targeted the American scientific enterprise, an engine of research and innovation that has thrummed for decades. It has slashed or frozen budgets at the NIH, the National Science Foundation, the CDC and NASA. It has fired or defunded thousands of researchers."

Donald Trump stands for nothing. He is entirely transactional. And even then he is a remarkable combination of fraudulent, ignorant, corrupt, spiteful and gullible.

So my read of this is that they are hoping this will go to SCOTUS and SCOTUS will rule in their favor by gutting the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which is to say that science funding is their trojan horse for legalizing resegregation in all facets of American life 🧪

It will reduce quality of life and shrink the economy. Why? If you can’t trust baby food to not kill your kid, you make your own. If you can’t trust toys to not kill your kid you buy fewer toys, focusing on a few trustworthy brands. If you can’t trust planes not to crash you fly less.

Trump has gutted food inspection programs at the FDA and USDA — including the committee that investigated last year's fatal Boar's Head listeria outbreak. The USDA is also rolling back safety regulations to “streamline” meat processing. How is this Making America Healthy Again?

It's hilarious how the Wall Street people automatically assumed that Trump would be good for business and then were smacked in the face with the reality that he is one of the dumbest people on the planet. As usual, if he had done nothing, everyone would have been better off.
