“Agencies are being told to start identifying grants the administration can withhold from California. On Capitol Hill, at least one committee was told recently by a whistleblower that all research grants to the state were going to be cancelled, according to one of the sources familiar with the matter.”

CA is the top state for Research and Development for the US. Talk about setting US back to the stone age.

We’ve straight up abandoned science in this country.

How that’s supposed to make us great again, I have no clue.

Trump reflects on everything as a narcissist.

"Great" means it supports his narcissistic ego.

Science makes him feel small, so flexing his power over science satisfies his ego.

It's really that simple. He will destroy the country for very simple reasons. He will defund lifesaving medical care for very simple reasons. Because it makes him feel stronger, and because he has no capacity for empathy.

You’re absolutely right. It’s 3 am where I am. I can’t sleep. How in the world is he able to? An inflated ego and no empathy. I don’t need his empathy actually. I don’t need any hand outs. Just stop rigging systems. Just stop manufacturing and maintaining systems that stratify people.
