The Trump admin's cuts to (competitively awarded! hard won!) grants and loans for research and deployment, combined with Congressional Republicans' planned devastation of tax incentives, are poised to forever cede American energy and industrial innovation to the PRC. And we'll all be poorer for it.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me
