Summary
Donald Trump criticized federal judges who blocked his administration’s funding cuts, suggesting they should be “looked at.”
His comments followed a ruling that halted a $4 billion NIH budget cut targeting biomedical research. Scientists warned the cuts would cripple labs and cost jobs.
Trump also signed an order supporting Elon Musk’s plan to reduce the federal workforce, though courts have blocked several of Musk’s initiatives.
Musk defended Trump’s efforts, arguing the judiciary and bureaucracy undermine democracy, despite not being an elected official himself.
I wish I had the answer. Short of staying with a group of like minded friends to help weather the storm.
And protecting those friends from the blatant gaslighting that’s coming.
