The decades-long push by the “Government is the problem” cabal to hollow out our democracy is deep into its implementation phase with enough public support to cross the finish line. Options to prevent this from happening are getting fewer and fewer.

Lots and lots to fear, these days. And for all the many lawsuits filed challenging these goings-on, it's far too few. I suggest civil lawsuits for monetary damages in some instances, but wondering whether Blue State prosecutors actually could prosecute such things as this: bsky.app/profile/beve...

I think their fear is well founded, when they cut your agency to the point where it could become irrelevant very easily, there would be the fear that if you don't do what Trump says, he will do another EO to close the agency, which would be unconstitutional, and it would end up in court, blah, blah.

That’s the plan for all the agencies. Get rid of those protecting them and keep trump loyalists in charge. Obviously

Fascism uses fear,anger and doubt of reality. Anti-vax gave the US 17% of Covid deaths with 4% of the world population. Trumps goal is enough chaos to excuse Martial Law. He could block all phone,internet and do mock trials of Dems in Congress ,executions forcing laws passed giving more power

Exactly why it was done. 2025 wants the govt to further it's fascist ideas and take revenge on anyone who does not agree with them. Fascism must be rejected entirely. It is not a philosophy to be discussed, it is not an ideal to be reached, it's evil and must be stamped out at the root.

I work with NSF SBIR applicants, i.e., startups and solo entrepreneurs. This restructure will limit the number of proposed innovative, marketable solutions that enhances the U.S. competitiveness. Sad day in America.

Ever since their takeover by evangelists, Republicans have been anti-science. As the saying goes, "Reality has a liberal bias." (e.g., The reality is that tax breaks for the rich hurt the poor, immigrants contribute more to the economy than they cost, etc.)

I do not understand what the possible rationale is for attacking scientific research as well as other programs which, for example, seek to safeguard the food supply.

Federal agencies, including NSF, are occupied territory. Public statements that are officially released are effectively hostage videos. People should understand this & change expectations accordingly. The actions are not coming from the officials you expect – they have been taken over in the coup.

I would also like to know how the many Congress and Senate who make an average wage have become millionaires/billionaires. Are all of trumps trips paid for by our taxes. Could save a lot of money if all business was conducted in the people’s house and he played on his own dime.
