      Rep. [Zoe Lofgren](https://www.upi.com/topic/Zoe_Lofgren/), D-Calif., the ranking member of the Science Committee, [said in a statement](https://democrats-science.house.gov/news/press-releases/ranking-member-lofgren-reacts-to-latest-trump-scheme-to-undermine-science), „This is the latest stupid move made by a president who continues to harm science and American innovation. The NSB is apolitical. It advises the president on the future of NSF. It unfortunately is no surprise a president who has attacked NSF from day one would seek to destroy the board that helps guide the Foundation. Will the president fill the NSB with MAGA loyalists who won’t stand up to him as he hands over our leadership in science to our adversaries? A real bozo the clown move.“

      Who could imagine that a man whose entire existence is based on deliberately not knowing stuff would hate the people whose job is to know stuff?

      He fears science because it will cut into his huge flow of millions of dollars from the „fuck the future generations“ big oil companies.

      If this country collapses as a result of the idiotic mad-hattery of this unvarnished doorknob, we will deserve it.

      „They think they are so smart. Take that.“

      Stalin has taken over the republican party. Cult of personality over all.

      Yay. Now they won’t do woke nonsense like “the scientific method” or “requiring evidence to draw conclusions”.

      Where are all the accounts that were telling us the GOP is great for space science in October 2024?

      As the woman quoted in the article points out, this is just one more way this administration is making America lesser on the world stage.

      You know, America was pretty ok before voters decided it needed to be great. Now we’re turning America into what Trump calls a “shithole” country.

      Why tf does he have this much power?? Wars. Kennedy Center. Post Office. More wars. Kidnapping another country’s leader. Destroying an entire wing of the White House. What tf did I vote for senators and congressional reps if one orange asshat can do whatever?

      Hey Gang! The turning point was all the way back there. Somewhere between the pedo island and the blatant corruption. Arguably even further back. Start turning!

      Our presidency was targeted by foreign powers to cause as much harm to our governmental infrastructure as possible

      The amount of harm this president is doing to all aspects of American life and the world in general for that matter cannot be understated.

      Literally no single person has done as much damage to American hegemony. Benedict Arnold was less egregious.

      #“For a successful technology, reality *must* take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.”

      Richard Feynman said this in his report on the destruction of the shuttle Challenger.

      That applies to engineering, science, and anything else that utilizes or investigates the natural world. You cannot break the laws of physics.

      Galileo said something similar in 1615:

      > It is not within the power of practitioners of demonstrative sciences to change opinion at will, choosing now this and now that one; there is a great difference between giving orders to a mathematician or a philosopher and giving them to a merchant or a lawyer; and demonstrated conclusions about natural and celestial phenomena cannot be changed with the same ease as opinions about what is or is not legitimate in a contract, in a rental, or in commerce.“

      „The Board has two overarching roles: 1) Provide oversight and policy guidance to the National Science Foundation; and 2) Serve as an advisor to Congress and the president on matters concerning science and engineering in the U.S.“

      The President and Vice President of the Board’s terms are up on May 10, 2026.

      He’s set US science back decades. He’s cut research fund and caused a brain drain. Now he does this. What a joke.

      Conservatives like to pretend our scientific and technology advances come from genius entrepreneurs. They really come from goverment funded research done by scientists most people have never heard of. This is a shame.

      Hopefully the next Dem President just fires them all and appoints competent people not in the business of siphoning tax payer dollars into their own wallets, like all these Republican appointees.

      At this point, EVERY SINGLE government entity should be backing up ALL of their work to Solid State Record, and hiding them in their drawers. Daily. So when this ignorant psychotic administration comes for their files and tries to erase their records, we’ll have it backed up. They literally have no idea how the world works. It’s up to YOU to preserve facts and history.

      God soeedt

      Making the head of the executive, the head of state and the head of the armed forces the same guy is really fucking stupid design.

      Why doesn’t the US have the usual prime minister + chancellor/president type set up?

      You also need a set up where the „rural rube class“ can’t take 99% of the power when they get 51% of the vote.
