Never has any leader had so many people wanting to make the argument that “not wearing any clothes actually makes the emperor better dressed if you think about it.”

Inspired by @jtuttlekeane.bsky.social and @ohdearz.bsky.social, here's what the White House proposed budget cuts to NASA would do to the entirety of the agency's Science Mission Directorate. Bloodbath is right.

BREAKING: The president's budget request just hit Congress, which could usher in a dark age for NASA space science. Congress has the final say, but you can help shape the outcome by adding your name to our global petition. This is just the start of our fight. Sign the petition: planet.ly/petition

The Project 2025 is getting shit-canned in court on a daily basis now. Today it was the idea that trade deficits are an "emergency" that allows Trump to impose whatever taxes he wants on whatever and whoever he wants. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Great news for OC Dems! Nancy Pelosi is investing millions to beat the last OC Rep, Young Kim. In 2024, the party spent almost nothing against her, so this is a big change. Also, Pelosi’s spending against Ken Calvert in RivCo and David Valadao in the Central Valley.
