Hi, everyone. I know so many people have been affected by the funding cuts to science in horrific ways. Sanaria, the company I am consulting for, has produced unprecedented progress in a highly effective malaria vaccine and is in major financial jeopardy because of these cuts.

I can't underscore this enough- Kennedy's word is worthless. He says whatever he needs to say to maximize the power he holds and he tells baldfaced lies without flinching (just look at his confirmation hearings). He actively ignores the evidence- it's been shown to him many times.
Creationists sometimes speak very beautifully about science too. Be serious, we know what Kennedy believes. All such a speech suggests is that he might intend to subvert the agency to his ends instead of destroying it wholesale.

I'm sure there are congressional staffers right now working on how to transfer the US currency to Bitcoin because, in absolute units, taxes will be lower; e.g. "oh, sweet, my taxes dropped from $20k to only .21 bitcoin" .
Republicans Want Lower Taxes. The Hard Part Is Choosing What to Cut.
House Republicans are preparing to adopt a plan that puts a $4.5 trillion limit on the size of the tax cut, but even that will not be enough for some of President Trump’s promises.
