Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut. This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

We can’t say this enough: When people in Trump‘s orbit deliberately lie about how our constitutional democracy works, they violate the oaths they take to uphold the law. & they violate the trust the American people place in them.

How is it that Sen. McConnell is ... the only GOP senator playing attention? I've lived in his state, heard him campaign ... this dude has constantly put party success over everything. and HE understands that Hegseth and Gabbard are unqualified this red-hat cult is going to ruin everybody
