Why would any administration give up US leadership in science? That’s exactly what Trump/Vought are doing

NASA is sinking its flagship science center during the government shutdown — and may be breaking the law in the process, critics say
"There is just a general acknowledgement that a lot of what is happening is illegal…"

Donald Trump doesn't *own* the White House. So how is it his to destroy? Shouldn't he have to get permission? This would be like a renter (who doesn't pay any rent) knocking down the wall to the next apartment to make room for a gilded hot tub.

Let's recap. This May, the Trump administration established "Gold Standard Science," using the language of scientific integrity and openness to empower political appointees like RFK Jr. to override scientists debunking Trump's dogma around science — from climate change to vaccines. #impeachthequack

The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people.

Whether you believe in prayer or not, prayers over gun violence show no signs of working. And if prayers are the only thing you offer in response to this nation's epidemic of gun violence, you're not a serious person who wants to solve a real problem. You're a sanctimonious fraud with a gun fetish.
Speaker Johnson: “I've just got a comment on Governor Newsom and his anti-Christian rhetoric…He shamelessly mocked the victims of Annunciation Catholic school for praying after the shooting.”
