Super point George, thanks for pressing the bad guys' buttons here.
To this point, we're looking for signers in support of the #EPA heroes trying to stop their boss #Zeldin from de-regging energy, mining, oil & everything else.

Tl;dr: 250,000 more Minnesotans at risk of devastating medical bills, higher energy prices, rural hospital closures, and longer ambulance wait times.
None of this is worth a tax cut for billionaires. Congress needs to reject this bill.

Since it is Juneteenth, I will share a lil something...
My ancestors were slaves in Texas & were freed on June 19, 1865. They came together to meet with other ex-slaves & formed the Limestone County 19th of June Organization. They bought 30 acres of land on Lake Mexia.

The moral of the story: The math ain't mathin'.
Trump's cuts to science spending will damage our economy, leave hundreds of thousands of people jobless, destroy the discovery pipeline, and most importantly, cost lives.
But we are fighting back.

Scientists,
I am asking us to do something that goes against our nature:
Step away from fine-grained, nuanced arguments. Zoom WAY out. Share the big picture. Don’t soften the seriousness of this moment with “xxx may be ok in xxx circumstances” talk.
It’s uncomfortable AND necessary.
