trump just quietly wiped out the National Science Board.
Not a few seats.
The whole board.
Fired by email.
Zero explanation.
They oversee the National Science Foundation, the essential pipeline for billions in US research.
In case you don’t know what they actually do.
They-
Set priorities.
Help decide what gets funded.
Make sure it’s based on science and not politics.
That funding helped drive-
MRI tech.
GPS.
The internet.
Medical breakthroughs.
These seats are staggered so no one president can flip the direction overnight.
That guardrail is now gone.
Now it comes down to who replaces them and whether science stays independent or gets even more political.
We won’t feel this tomorrow.
We’ll feel it when the next breakthrough never shows up.
Don’t lecture us on hate. Trump on a daily basis posts and spews hateful rhetoric. In recent days, calling 3 Black Americans who he doesn’t agree with, “low IQ,” insulting the Pope, castigating and insulting our allies around the world, insulting leaders of and all people in the opposing party, and so on. Stop the gaslighting. The fish rots from the head!
I would like to point to the President, his minions and his lemmings that the White House Correspondents' Dinner is a private event, not a government or presidential function.
It is organized and hosted entirely by the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA), which is a private nonprofit organization independent of the White House.
Even if there were a ballroom, it would not be hosted there.
Can we stop with the stupid talking point now?
Spare me the “poor Trump is a victim of left-wing rhetoric” nonsense. No other President before him attacked Americans the way he does on a daily basis! A Judges’s house has been blown up, Melissa Hortman & her husband murdered, Violence against immigrants has increased 900% since his last campaign, Judges & Members of Congress get daily threats on their lives and their families lives. Trump is a stochastic terrorist. No one uses more “heated rhetoric” than he does!
Partial list of Trump attacks:
Obama: accuses him of treason, trying to "steal the election,” and accuses him of spying on MOC via FISA warrants (that GOP Congress just tried to re-up in the middle of the night).
Biden: accuses him and his entire family of crimes, falsely claims he stole the 2020 election, accused him of treason.
Kamala Harris: calls her "mentally impaired," "disabled," and "born that way,” “low IQ.” Claims she is a threat to the country.
Liz Cheney: called for her to be sent to military tribunals.
Adam Schiff: Shifty Adam Schiff" and "crooked," saying he should be "brought to justice" for alleged fraud.
Nancy Pelosi: “Enemy from within,” implied military action could be needed against her and other political opponents. Mocked the brutal beating & attempted murder of her husband.
Mark Milley: Said he should be executed for treason.
Reps Alyssa Slotkin, Mark Kelly, Maggie Goodlander, Jason Crow, Chrissy Houlahan, and Chris DeLuzio: calls them traitors" and said their actions were "punishable by DEATH".
Letitia James & Alvin Bragg: Targeted as part of a campaign of retribution, Continuously calls them "corrupt.”
The media: Calls them “enemies of the people," and “fake news,” who “should be charged with treason.”
The people who helped get him into office twice-Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones: Just two weeks ago called them "low IQ," "losers," and "nut jobs.”

Illegal Immigrants: Trump dehumanizes them constantly, calling them "savages," "animals," and "not human".
Protestors: Calls everyone who doesn’t agree with him “enemies of the people” who, “Hate America.”
Judges: Calls them activist judges and “enemies of the people,” includes their families in his attacks.
SCOTUS: Accused the Conservatives who don’t bend to his will of being an influenced by the “radical left,” calling them “bad,” “weak” and “stupid.”
No other American President has attacked Americans like this! Not one!
The idea that the right just quietly moved on with their lives after Obama and Biden were both elected is revisionist history on a level you can’t calculate
yes the right wing of US politics took Joe Biden's election very normally, they didn't do anything out of the ordinary in response, everything was very chill, nobody over-reacted in any way
The Red Sox blow up their entire coaching staff. The Bruins put up a pathetic performance at home. Thank god for the Celtics. Watching them tonight was a joy
