This is insane.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

I scroll through the #NoKings rally photographs from across the nation and smile — so many cities I have visited over the years, so many sites I have seen, so many kindred spirits who I have never met but who believe as I do.

It gives me hope that this too shall pass.

This is the scope & scale of scientific ambition that the USG once had.

It’s the type of project that Vannevar Bush (“The Endless Frontier”) would have proposed; that nearly every American president since 1945 would have proposed & financed.
