There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

America has lost it free speech.
BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear:
The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here.
Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead.
This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

Why did their state pick United Health to cover their Medicaid plan?
While Universal care sounds good. The reality is that our gov approve the Medicare Advantage plans offered by the BUCAs.
Maybe we need to change what we expect and what we need from gov chosen plans first ?

The concept of having a for-profit company pay your health care costs is an absurd conflict of interest.
This is why all of our economic peer countries have universal health care

Do you get it yet Democrats? We're living in a populist moment. Regular people want disruption. Trump is a disruptor. He’s a BAD disruptor who makes things worse. But he's the only game in town. Dems, you've been absent. Time to get disruptive. America needs a GOOD disruptor. To make things better.
