There’s been a “targeted, surgical removal of data sets, or elements of data sets, that are not aligned with the administration’s priorities,” said Denice Ross at the Federation of American Scientists. The process parallels things that happened under Stalin in the early 50s USSR.

“Fraud, waste and abuse.”

“Crap.”
