    I call this a win-win. The Pentagon loses access to some of the best and brightest minds, and the universities learn not to take money from a fickle, political body. It sucks for the people who had research depending on this funding, but with the exception of the 2 schools in blood-red Oklahoma these schools were all in blue states on Trump’s shit list, they probably saw it coming.

    This guy clearly doesn’t know how science works. One of the things I liked about the movie Oppenheimer was the way scientists were represented. And it was never just one guy in a basement. Collaboration is key.

    I’ll say it again because it doesn’t get said enough: Hegseth is an idiot.

    The government doesn’t want to fund them. The government doesn’t want them getting funding from others. It’s almost like the government doesn’t want them funded at all. Oh, right.
