Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Request

Not only is Trump leveling science funding at NASA, like he did with the National Science Foundation, but look closely at the budget. Beginning next year at 800 million and by 2030, 3.5 billion (nearly 20% of its budget), NASA is required to work towards “Commercial Moon and Mars Infrastructure and Transportation”. The ultimate subsidy for the commercial space sector.

They also eliminated STEM engagement program, which provided funding for the next generation of scientists to participate in NASA opportunities. I can’t wait for all this greatness Trump has been preaching to arrive.

    Israel runs over people with its US tanks and it’s the 51st state, so, let’s not throw stones in this big shitty glass house?

      Thanks for the whataboutism. Israel can go fuck itself too, they are worse at the moment.

      I don’t need everyone else to be perfect to level valid criticism.

        Israel can go fuck itself too, they are worse at the moment.

        The US is directly responsible for the innocent people that Israel kills. It’s the 51st state. They are so fundamentally connected and Israel is so deeply reliant on the US for economic and military and legal connections that it is impossible to separate the two.

        Israel would probably cease to exist if the US didn’t give them unlimited backing and support.

        You know what that means? That means it’s not fucking “”“whataboutism”“” to bring up Israel! Israel’s crimes are US’s crimes.

            We are talking about Israel, because we are talking about the US. It’s the 51st state. You don’t get to separate the two as if they are totally different countries that are unrelated to each other. Israel’s crimes are US crimes.

              The United States is comprised of 50 states so your hyperbole is going nowhere. Israel is a separate nation no matter how close friends the pair of assholes are. You have not countered my argument.

                Your only argument seems to be “well there’s only 50 stars on the flag, so, checkmate 😏”. Israel isn’t a real nation, it’s just an extension of the US empire. Israel literally can not exist without US support and the US will give Israel unlimited support no matter what. They’re intertwined so deeply that they can’t be separated. Israel would collapse the instant the US stopped propping it up.

                I repeat, it’s not a real country. It was created with the stroke of a pen and will end with one. Israel’s crimes are US crimes.

                You don’t get it yet, but I think you will. I don’t even need to win this argument. History will do it for me.
