Just think about who benefits from all this shit and you know who he works for.

“Before Trump, the review process was based on merit and impact. Now, it’s like rolling the dice because a DOGE person has the final say,” said one current program officer.

so when he said now it'd be all merit as excuse to attempt to turn DEI into a slur was also just a confession of what he's against? everything is the opposite with him just like when he says he wants to help Ukraine then do the opposite or with the other million things he has backtracked so far..

Among the first things fascism sets its sight on are the sciences and the arts.

It’s only an own goal if Trump feels any consequences. I’m still hopeful that he will, but losing hope every day.

It's not kind boggling at all. Stupid people vote R. They don't want anyone with "thoughts".

Doge's interference reminds me heavily of insurance interfering with doctors.

He wants to control dissent by manipulating the access to information. The same reason that Russia does it, the same reason that Canadian conservatives tried to do it.

It is ironic that they want the benefits of science but wage war against it.

Trump will go away. Scientists will not go away. Science will get smaller, but that may well be good for it ... scientists are inventive. Have you seen the simple tools they used to make all those discoveries back in the middle 1800s?

The more efficient we can get, the less resources we use. Early TVs each drew HUNDREDS of watts. As did early computers. What changed? Scientific insights.

Do these idiots even realize, without the foundation of science, there would be no engineering?

It’s not an own goal if the team and fans don’t see goals as good.

Dumbass Taco won't be getting own-goaled, as he will likely never pay the consequences for his idiocy. It's all the rest of us that will still be around after his stupid ass has shuffled off his mortal coil.

The bigger problem now as I see it is that some research conducted outside of the U.S. might reference US research. During this time of widespread disinformation from U.S. and Russia I think we need a tool to help us filter.

That extends to the FDA in the USA too. Since people of integrity have been removed there I wouldn’t trust any medical statements or research that originate from it.
