The Trump administration's attempts to cut the overhead rates of grants awarded to universities from NIH, NSF, DOE, DoD, etc. have gone largely unnoticed outside of academia, but this move is a crucial aspect of the assault on American research universities. @andrewdessler.com wrote about it. 🧪

Reasonable people can no longer deny that the United States has descended into autocracy. We are all slipping into a deep nightmare. What is the bottom? That depends on whether we unite against the whirlwinds of danger- or take solace from our fear in hedonism and fantasy.

Trump wants 20,000 troops to hunt, transport immigrants. Cost estimate: $3.6 billion
The moves would shift the military from its mission of defending the nation against foreign adversaries toward policing its streets.

Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

How bad will it be? Catastrophic.
Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come.
But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget.
Speak up now before it is too late.
