NASA chief to defy agency’s charter, terminating science
These proposed cuts to NASA science are significantly harming not only the national security interests of the United States, but also the lives, safety, and resilience of citizens across the country and globe. While NASA’s astrophysics and planetary science divisions monitor and explore worlds and the Universe beyond our own, including potentially hazardous asteroids and comets, it’s NASA’s Earth science and heliophysics divisions that teach us things that directly impact our planet.
NASA’s Earth observing satellites and stations are key to monitoring climate, water resources, natural disasters and their impacts, air pollution, wildfires, droughts, and key infrastructure components all across the world. Satellite instruments monitor stores of groundwater, and can identify weather events even as they’re still forming over the oceans.
Can we sue the regime for this? Lol
Ha ha. You can try. I’d say that all states with a coast would easily have standing.
I mean, you have to have a court that doesn’t take bribes for that to matter, tho so… hope you have a lot of money to waste.
And some states that don’t have a coast yet.
See you down in Arizona bay!
(Stolen from the Tool song Ænima, which is based on the Bill Hicks album.)
“Measuring emissions was good, as long as we could blame other nations for them and greenwash our stuff. Now that other nations are prioritizing renewables and blame us we don’t need to measure anymore.”
If we don’t test for covid… Lather rinse repeat.
Lather and rinse? Buddy you can’t make me do nothing, you’re affecting my free speech

Every time a see a thumbnail with this dolt’s face I always think, why the fuck is this doofus in charge of anything?
Because musk and the dictator had a spat and the original pick was someone associated with musk.
