Apparently Elon Musk and his assistant Donald Trump believe that the best way to make America great again is to cut scientific research and development by 2/3. The National Science Foundation currently gets $9.1 billion a year, Biden wanted to increase it to 10.2 billion, Musk and Trump want to cut it to 3 billion. The National Science Foundation is the ONLY government agency whose central mission is basic research.

Did you notice? After a few phone calls between Trump and Putin, an American was released by Putin. This is a bad omen for Ukraine. It means that Trump has satisfied Putin on some important points regarding settlement of the war in Ukraine. AG

Fortunately appropriation and spending is a power of Congress.  Unfortunately a majority of Congress Critturs consists of spinelss slugs.

It's all just a ruse for finding the money for their huge tax cuts for the super wealthy. If Trump and his sycophants really wanted to curtail "waste, fraud, and abuse" in a rational manner, Trump wouldn't have fired the 9 IG's attached to various agencies. They've filed a lawsuit today demanding their reinstatement. AG
