Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Not even... It's like 1/3 of one day (going on the $1 billion per day figure).
It's also like ~1/6th of that stupid slush fund.
Literally robbing our future.
I so wish that people could slow-walk any of the edicts from this would-be king and not actually implement any of it.
Conservatives should never be allowed into office, at any level of government, JFC.
They ruin everything.
It's pretty much their exact aim.
"Government doesn't work! Elect us, and we'll PROVE it!!"
He should just nuke his own country. Might as well.
probably be less destructive than what he wants to do..
That's coming.
World cup! And I live in a host city. Fuck
don't worry, probably wont be too bad considering how many people are canceling their tickets and how many venues are worried about not having enough people.
Michael England, a spokesman for the National Science Foundation, said the decision to dismantle the network, known as the Ocean Observatories Initiative, “aligns with N.S.F.’s wider strategy to have a nimbler approach to prioritizing support for evolving scientific priorities and emerging technologies as well as a deliberate approach to smart life cycle management within its portfolio of research infrastructure.”
What a bunch of bullshit
I wish super hurricanes destroy Maralago and all his fucking golf courses.
Lemme guess: They'll gut it like a fish (pun not intended), and when the courts finally get around to stopping them, it'll be too late to have saved anything.
It’s already too late, at this point they’re just destroying our ability to monitor and produce models so we know exactly how bad what’s coming will be, when exactly and where, but there’s no stopping it.
I mean, there is a way to stop it, but it involves some stuff that's illegal to talk about.
Whyyyy. It's peanuts in the US budget.
How are they supposed to continue denying global warming if there’s all these monitoring systems in place to track it all
Trump on COVID: "If we stop counting, we'd have fewer cases."
Yeah, and the American electorate went " sure, makes sense "
Idk, they seem to do great already, even with the mountains of evidence we ready have. I mean are we just going to start torching national forrest? Pouring oil in the lakes for storage? Painting the rocks with nuclear waste?
“Write that down, write that down!”
Because when it goes to get rebuilt in the future it'll be done by his rich buddies that own the companies. Follow the money, it's all about who does the work with this guy, how can they get the most tax dollars from programs?
Trump can draw his own stuff with a Sharpie.
In Trump's rotted brain, if you don't see facts that look bad, then they don't exist. Like with covid deaths, remember?
What covid deaths? Pretty sure that's fake news.
It was gone by Easter, according to the Ministry of Truth.
The wikipedia page of the program that is being cancelled: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_Observatories_Initiative
Follow the money. Some Trump insider is getting rich off of this.
I’m guessing it’s deep sea mining companies
Guess again
Waste, fraud, and abuse
He destroys everything he touches.
The merdes touch.
If you plug your ears hard enough, climate change doesn't exist. /s
Take that, AMOC.
