Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades (Gift Article)
The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

Seems pretty clear that DOGE wasn’t ever designed to increase efficiency, but to destroy regulators in Musk’s way and gobble up the data of the American public and its government so as to provide Musk market advantage in AI race.

Scoop: CBS News pulled a "60 Minutes" segment that focused on job losses at the Internal Revenue Service hours before it was scheduled to air, replacing it with a feature story on Cajun music.

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam.
It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

The more laws Musk breaks, the more he'll be beholden to Trump as the pardoner.

Trump and Musk are trying to kill USAID because it promotes democracy in Hungary, ruled by MAGA's favorite autocrat, Victor Orban. This is, at the very least, performative fascism, and probably much worse.
NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev
Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.

Here's an archived copy of Kliger's resume: web.archive.org/web/20240418...

The Trump’s campaign promise was to finish the job they started on Jan 6 and this is what it looks like.

This press conference is just going to confirm everyone’s priors.

Biden’s made a few bad flubs but he’s showing a good command of the facts.

I’d like to see Trump have to field foreign policy questions like this.

Would be fun to do a Trump presser where they just ask him these questions one for one and compare the answers. Like a debate but not stupid
I dare Donald Trump to answer foreign policy questions like this.
