I am furiously, flamingly, incandescently, *supernova-levels* of angry right now.

Trump is trying to kill NASA science. And hoo boy, do I have something to say about it.

I sincerely hope that there is a brain drain away from the US on par with when the Restoration of the Civil Service went into effect in Germany. As an American with a science education (well, if you count mathematics as "science"), it pains me deeply, but this isn't ok and there have to be deep consequences.

The world can't wait for the US to try to figure out its shit. I hope other countries can start to fill any void we're leaving.

@jbowen @badastro We’d be in there like Garfield on lasagna if we had an actual minister of science instead of a minister of #ArtificialIdiocy. #CanPoli #NASA #HintHint
