Trump just fired the entire National Science Board. The members will be replaced with the most malignant anti-science shitbirds imaginable. I thought science wasn’t supposed to be political, right?
The danger is not just bad science policy. It is the conversion of independent public institutions into instruments of political control. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

More dictator shit from Trump. The notion of an "independent board" to advise on expert matters by definition excludes such unilateral removal. Presidential nomination to a position, after Senate approval, simply does not imply unilateral presidential removal: www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

Well, now he's trying to justify his ballroom and destroy our first rate institutions. Trump ousts National Science Board members. The NSF helped Duolingo get its start; it also helped evolve technology used in MRIs, cellphones and LASIK eye surgery. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

The Trump administration is making an unprecedented effort to PREVENT science from informing policy www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...
How many different ways can the Republican party make it clear that they are: Anti-science, Anti-health, Anti-progress, Anti- innovation, Anti-reality, Anti the American people? www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

Putin's man Terrorist Trump Fires National Science Board members The NSB guides..."the National Science Foundation...[which] operates Antarctic research stations, telescopes, a fleet of research vessels and supports basic science research in laboratories across the United States."
An avoidable own goal that will keep scoring on us for years. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026... Who needs scientists when the president is Braindead?!!!
I'm glad to see WaPo and Forbes covering the #NSF #NSB terminations. The public needs to understand that scientific research in the US, as we have known it for three quarters of a century, is collapsing and it may take a decade or decades to recover from this. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...
We should be investing in science, not war. Stop funding endless wars. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...
Trump's attacks on science are worsening. The National Science Board follows the highest scientific standards as they guide the research and development of scientific innovation. This is a devastating blow to the future of science. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...
Trump ousts National Science Board members www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026... The board advises NSF & Congress on science funding - which is being terminated in favor of snake oil & bullshit.
www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...
When independent scientific oversight is replaced overnight, it’s not administrative reform—it’s power consolidation. Undermining apolitical institutions that guide research priorities risks turning evidence into ideology, with long-term costs for innovation, credibility, and public trust.

Why is it that they always use the stock photo of McMurdo when posting bad news about NSF?! www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...
President Trump is apparently determined to render the U.S. a broken country by the time he leaves office. On Friday, with neither warning nor cause, he abruptly fired the entire National Science Board, which oversees the National Science Foundation. 😲 www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...
This administration sure focuses on things in public interest. A new example almost every day. Here's today's: www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...
Every story like this makes me cry for science and cheer for the impending death of American greatness.

“He said the board exists to hold the agency to the highest scientific standards, ‘for how rigorous, intellectual, scientific decisions should be made.’ It also approves large funding decisions, such as whether to build a new Antarctic research vessel.” www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...
www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026... - Further purposeful destruction of US science and technology innovation and research by these fucking political flatworms. Clearly time to remove this President.
