Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., the ranking member of the Science Committee, said in a statement, "This is the latest stupid move made by a president who continues to harm science and American innovation. The NSB is apolitical. It advises the president on the future of NSF. It unfortunately is no surprise a president who has attacked NSF from day one would seek to destroy the board that helps guide the Foundation. Will the president fill the NSB with MAGA loyalists who won't stand up to him as he hands over our leadership in science to our adversaries? A real bozo the clown move."

Unfortunately, too many other Americans think it will, and by the time they realize it won't it'll be even more too late.

    They will tell you that you are clearly overreacting, that whatever bullshit excuse given is legitimate.

    Later (way past anyones ability to act) they will claim that it was bullshit and they knew it all along.
