Administration fires entire National Science Board
President Donald Trump's administration dismissed all 24 members of the National Science Board, the appointed body that helps oversee the National Science Foundation. Board members had been preparing a report warning the United States is ceding scientific ground to China, and the firings leave the NSF without its governing board. The National Science Foundation is the primary federal funder of basic scientific research in the United States, supporting university grants and long-term projects. Experts warn the firings could delay grant decisions, stall awards, and weaken U.S. research competitiveness.
More details on the firing of the National Science Board. The NSF now has no director, deputy director, or board. They have issued almost no new awards in 2026. The plan appears to be to completely destroyed the agency. The details are horrifying and have Russ Vought written all over them.
The National Science Foundation is the main source of funding for basic sciences in the US. For decades, they have supported a scientific R&D ecosystem in the US that has been an engine of economic growth and competitive advantage. Destroying the agency is no less than an act of sabotage.
I’ve lost count of the list of “you shouldn’t be able to do that” things that have utterly destroyed the scientific infrastructure. Not enough people realize how this is generational damage
I read yesterday the board was readying a report stating China was surpassing the USA in science. Our government is actively destroying our country’s future.
Where do they think *all of modern society* came from? NOT scientists?????
Currently on an NSF grant that goes until August. Guess I’ll be TAing until I finish my dissertation…
While this absolutely has Vought's fingerprints on it, I do wish to remind everyone who listens that Trump has repeatedly tried to slash research funding, including in his first term. The man is against the development of science and technology.
Trump & Co. are destroying science, knowledge, and our future.
This is a traitorous assault on the United States by ignorant Evangelical Republicans who reject modern science.
heard last month that they had a new space but it didn’t have internet or tables & chairs so most folks were working from home at least until June, which seemed like an ominous bit of news in combination with everything else.
This Administration is extremely anti science! Ignorance abounds in this administration.
That is the goal... destroy anything and everything that had come anywhere close to making America decent, much less great.
The entire board behind the National Science Foundation was fired on Friday. They were planning to release a report on how the U.S. is ceding ground to China on scientific endeavors. The Trump admin likes to say we’re competing with China but in reality this is just an excuse to not regulate AI.
Pretty crazy strategy, instead of recognizing the problem of falling behind in science, where & why, and corrective action plans, fire the NSF board members pointing this out???
One of his more horrifying moves recently… And that is a long list. We are moving into the dark ages. Going back to fossil fuels for our energy; purging public health experts; returning to class warfare with pseudo royalty at the top and the serfs at the bottom - and that would include most of us.
US ceding leadership in research and innovation to other nations. Thankfully other nations are up to the challenge.
Was this in Project 2025 also?
Please someone at the NSF release the latest draft!!!
Trump outdoes himself every day. This should not be mathematically possible. He’s 600% worse.
The greedy republican party has been trying to dumb down the citizens of this country for decades and they have gleefully found the low IQ moron to do major damage. This is truly sickening!
NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 27 APRIL 2026 THESE HORRIFIC TIMES THE DAMAGE TRUMP HAS DONE to our Country will TAKE YEARS TO UNDO He fired ALL of the National Science Board & fired the head of AI Standards due to prior worked for Antropic THE INDEPENDENT OVERSIGHT of AI is GONE SCARY & WRONG
This is inconceivably grave, and the ramifications will reverberate for generations. They are taking all of our services and benefits to fund the oligarchy. IMO This regime is on a mission to abandon excellence.
He’s just the most vile and disgusting person on the face of the earth.
Turns out he doesn’t need DOGE. He’s been destroying good things his entire life! A scourge on the earth he is.
Who is this young man? Someone tell him he needs to talk to his peers and get their asses out in the streets. I hear talk amongst this demo that protests are all OLD people & uncool for that reason. Grow the fuck up & stop prioritizing COOL bc ain’t nothing cool about the Christian Taliban Fascists.
‘More destruction of science’: Trump fires every member of US national science board www.rawstory.com/trump-scienc...
The the hell? Destroying the future of our nation
The dumbing down of America continues 😡
Science is currently keeping that walking cadaver alive. You'd think he would be more pro-science. We're going backwards.
What is his rationale/justification for this?
What better way to squash that story than a dinner he has never gone to with a shooting where no one got shot 🤔
Donald Trump has fired the entire National Science Board, all 24 members, all at once. The board was responsible for deciding which scientific projects America should pursue and helping to direct the nation's technological future.
"Its next meeting was set for 5 May, and members say a report about the United States ceding scientific ground to China was set to be released." www.scientificamerican.com/article/enti...
It makes sense if you understand he’s liquidating the country.
SO WE ARE NEITHER safe nor healthy.
We have to look at China and other nations to guide us into the future. America is stuck in reverse.
He has dementia, he doesn't know what he is doing. He needs to be removed from office. Nobody who does this could possibly be trying to make the country a better place. Instead he'll probably replace them with 24 crocks like RFK.
This is EXTREMELY BIG 🔥 🇺🇸TODAY Trump : Fired all 24 National Science Board members, who oversee $9B in NSF research funding. 🇺🇸YESTERDAY Zohran : “Trump is telling that medicare funding is implausible, but $500 MILLION/day to kill people in Iran is necessary.”🔥 🇺🇸NYC mayor Zohran was absolutely
right about Trump. He will stop all essential funding just to satisfy his ego by waging illegal wars.🔥🔥
Maybe safe to say DJT is a career SADIST who HATES America & gets off on & paid by inflicting suffering & death! Americans tried to hold him accountable: no healthcare, food, jobs, housing; no disaster relief! Blow fisherman out the water; kidnap or kill foreign heads of state; get their resources!
Zohran forgot three very important words...... "ALL FOR ISRAEL".
Correct me if I’m wrong please, but I think Mamdani can’t run for POTUS? That is such a pity if it is the case. He sounds like - no, he IS the kind of person the US desperately needs for the job.
If Medicare is such a drain on the government since the 1940’s, then why is there so much there for military and republican discretionary spending and all of Trumps personal vanity projects?
Democrats blast latest move by the administration to radically restructure the federal government.
“Restructure” is a gentle way of saying: dismantle the U.S. government and sell it off for parts. Eventually the U.S. will be a bunch of techno-anarchical corporate fiefdoms.
Heritage Foundation is hard at work dismantling the government to benefit the oligarchs and create a Christo-fascist government. Meanwhile, people are barking at ballrooms.
I CANNOT WAIT for some accountability. It's desperately needed. The Trump "administration" is destroying everything they are not looting and getting away with it.
