This is related to science. The NASA head directs pretty much everything that happens at NASA. Whether you like it or not, the current political situation is affecting the scientific community. Stick your head in the sand if you want, but I cant. I work there.

I didn't ask for this, or vote for it. Must be nice to point and laugh at the half of the country who didn't ask for this bullshit.

How is this news exactly? This is almost as bad as a gossip column. There are so many awful things this administration is currently doing and has done, and this is what you want to focus on?

You are welcome to find a better article and post it yourself.

He hasn't done anything. But they pulled his nomination. I'm fully expecting them to nominate someone worse than a billionaire executive from SpaceX.

Would you have preferred the yahoo article that reported on the politico article? It was the best I could find at the moment, sorry.

Kind of, there is a sequestration law, that basically says if there is a deficit over a certain excess, that it can trigger an automatic reduction in spending. This does not seem to meet the criteria for that. But the trump administration seems to be trying to force through the 2026 budget using this. I figured they'd use reconciliation to ram it through. This is even more egregious.

When is the mob with pitchforks meeting, and where?

Right, and we are trying to use it for everything but the useful stuff

Sigh, at some point we are gonna have to tell these AI fucks to take a hike.

Doesn't mean you cant pressure them to vote against it. Calls, texts, and emails, townhall, etc do work to get votes changed. If people think they won't get reelected, or worse, they do what constituents ask. Not always, but, its not a moot point.

Have you not been watching the news? ICE has been detaining people left and right for months at a time, no charges whatsoever.

The Roman telescope will likely get shoved in storage. I work on it right now, we are talking internally about what this means. Obviously, I have no more information than you do, but the cuts are severe enough that there's no way we will be able to keep working on it at the current levels if this goes through.

Joined 8 months ago, no comments, no posts, nothing. That's not suspicious at all.

I mean, come on, who hasn't danced around a room with a chainsaw before??

I'm so glad the U.S. is taking PFAS serious...oh wait.

Alcohol makes me feel nice. Do PFAS do that?

My therapist used to say feelings are not facts. And that has always stuck with me. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I've been where you are now. It was a rough year, and there were rough times long after the divorce was finalized. It took me a while, but I picked myself up, found new friends, and got back out there. The best thing you can do for yourself is do things you love to do, and try to meet new people. Staying in your house and ruminating on all the ways your life sucks is probably the worst thing you can do for yourself. Keep your head up, there are people out there that do care about you, and probably many more who will once they get to know you. You just need to find them. <3

Yeah, I never understood that one. I am not obscenely wealthy, but I've gone the opposite direction. I make combined over 200k between myself and my wife, and im more left leaning than I think I've ever been at any point in my life.

Hes always about to leave his role.
