I bet none of the funding from Israel got cut...

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.
