This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers
In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.

We got Steve!!!!! Steve was the defense PAD at OMB under Obama. If you care about the intersection of defense and budgeting, Steve’s your guy.
The federal government is an insurance company with a military. 51 percent of program spending goes to Social Security and health insurance programs.
26 percent goes to national security.
Everything else—from transportation and medical research to law enforcement—accounts for only 23 percent.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
