NASA scientists describe ‘absolute sh*tshow’ at agency as Trump budget seeks to dismantle top US climate lab

1. Before the election in 2016, the fact that Trump was the GOP nominee had me looking very seriously into the possibility of immigrating (i.e., leaving the US and renouncing US citizenship). I was heartened to see that the four countries I was most thinking about were the four highest-rated countries on some NGO’s analysis of strongest democracies. But alas, family obligations and age have kept me stuck here,

   But anyway, this headline isn’t new by any means, except that the crest of the BS wave might be in that agency at the moment. But overall, I think the US is free falling into the fascist abyss, and will only emerge when the pain of it burns all hint of MAGA from our awareness. Sadly, I have dwindling hope that will look like something other than German cities – reduced to rubble – at the end of WWII.

   In other words, a few hundred nerds at NOAA are freaking but will anyone do anything to change the direction of the country? Nope. We don’t feel fear and pain nearly enough to do what is necessary.

   …. Yet …..

2. DOGE cut deep enough to cause collapse, and I thought Elmo liked NASA.

3. The public is fickle. We’ll see how they like the economy after a few months of crippling tariffs. Then they’ll all be like ‘why is this happening!’
