So humble nominee, as expected, your tweet here aged as well as brie in the summer sun. The cuts to NASA Astrophysics are now in writing, clocking in at >60%. This isn't even a hatchet, it's a WMD. What are you going to do about it?.
@TheOldManPar I’m a humble nominee on the outside, hoping for a chance to contribute. I don’t know anything about those supposed cuts, but the President said he’s targeting fraud, waste & abuse w/ a scalpel—not a hatchet. People shouldn't waste heartbeats on rumor and speculation.
