Astronomers will keep pointing out to folks that the Roman telescope is *already built* and is being prepped for launch *next year* and I know we live in a stupid timeline but cancelling Roman at this point would be SO STUPID.
Took a little walk over to the giant #nasa Goddard cleanroom yesterday where the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is looking great 😎 It’s assembled and going through testing before its scheduled launch late next year! It will study dark energy, dark matter (ahem @pearljam.com), exoplanets & more!

NEW: By a 4–3 vote, the Wisconsin Supreme Court upholds Gov. Tony Evers' creative "veto" transforming a two-year school funding increase into a 400-year funding increase. Evers crossed out words, numbers, and hyphens to rewrite the law—legally, it turns out. www.wicourts.gov/sc/opinion/D...

18F is *precisely* what Musk and team claim should exist within government. But when his team found it, they destroyed it, because it is evidence that government works well (can’t have that!), and because like Zelensky, 18F didn’t bend the knee.
