    The most distressing part of this is the way the NSF, the funder here, just gave into the administrations illegal takeover if their programs. The NSF was created by Congress and isn’t even within the regular agency structure of the executive branch. Buncha Quislings

      The executive has the last say whether funds are released to be spent.

      Congress can authorize funds. Doesn’t mean they can authorize and spend infinitely without checks and balances.

        This is not checks and balances. Get those words out yo mouth. This is a fascist takeover and it is clearly illegal.
