For hundreds of years, humanity has relied on science to improve lives. Science tests hypotheses, uses data, and follows a systematic method in pursuit of the truth. It’s not perfect of course. But destroying American science as we know it will only send us backward.

Agree.
"Modern societies, as Americans are soon to learn, cannot function without experts in every field, especially the many thousands who work in public service," writes @RadioFreeTom.

The American scientific enterprise supported by the federal government is fundamental to progress and protecting life, property and health. It fuels discovery, innovation, jobs, and prosperity. Reach out to Congress and the White House to let them know you support NOAA, NASA, NSF.

I genuinely do not understand the logic of these tariffs. Analysis shows will raise US prices, lower US GDP. What possible strategic benefit could there be? Asking for a friend.
WSJ ed board: "President Trump will fire his first tariff salvo on Saturday against those notorious American adversaries . Mexico and Canada. They’ll get hit with a 25% border tax, while China, a real adversary, will endure 10%. This reminds us of the old Bernard Lewis joke.

Cancer research halted by the administration. How is this possibly helping Americans? This is a critical time for cancer research. Progress matters to save lives.

This is terrible management from an administration who is supposedly business savvy. Will undercut progress of American research, life-saving discoveries and repairs to critical infrastructure. Among so many other things.

The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.
