This answer is designed to kowtow to Trump and his devastating proposed cuts to NASA. It's baloney. NASA barely has enough money to do anything, and the cuts would wipe out entire missions.
He should say it's a tiny slice of the fed budget, has a huge ROI, and funding should actually be increased.
College Where Charlie Kirk Was Killed Revokes Graduation Speaker's Invite Utah Valley University was thrilled that Sharon McMahon, a best-selling author, would speak at its graduation. And then her old posts resurfaced. Listen • 5:02 min
You'll never believe what this speaker--now cancelled thanks to "free speech" warriors like TPUSA & Sen. Mike Lee--posted about Charlie Kirk.
She said she was "gutted" by his murder. She described it as "horrific" and said it "should have never happened." And then she went on to post Kirk's words.
one of the ways the mid to late 20th century political world has distorted the historical memories of even sophisticated observers is in the idea that you can achieve major transformations of american political life through something like bipartisan consensus

It’s been weeks since the Senate came together across party lines to pass a bill to pay TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard.

Horrific
Thank you Yesenia
The press is intent on whitewashing Republican agency out of everything.
Fight, Fight, Fight
16 years ago, Newt Gingrich convinced the Tea Party era GOP that they should double down in their fight against the (entirely imaginary) efforts to impose Sharia Law on the US.
During the entire insane scene where he yelled at aides, blamed Europe for not helping, and worried about comparisons to Carter's Iran crisis, Donald Trump continued to obsess about his ballroom, and mused about giving himself the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration in US history.
Wow
Ugh 😣
Add "farmers in the American West whose farms are only viable because they are given incredibly scarce water resources for 5 cents on the dollar" to the car dealers and realtors — destructive, unproductive conservative groups that we need to reduce the influence of when we're back in power.
Ugh 😣 this is a problem
Bonkers!

Republicans are destroying us.
