"Cuts of 30 to 70% are rumored at USDA next week. NIH & NSF funding is being destroyed & the agencies themselves facing cuts.

About 3,500 nonfederal entomologists depend on these agencies. We're🚨risking research that protects #ecosystems & #foodsecurity."

It's difficult to keep up with all the atrocities, but we amplify the gravity of the losing these experts, the firings, existential threats... of the #TrumpMusk admin.

Some USDA RIF plans take shape as department warns employees of major cuts

Some regional offices are expected to be cut as some headquarters offices will be "hollowed out."

Musk’s #DOGE purge is causing more harm than the #firings -that needlessly upend lives, they’re devastating communities & reducing the GDP.

“For every $1 spent by the Parks, they produce $15 in economic activity. It’s <0.067% of all fed spending.

Parks have a huge economic multiplier. They create platforms for substantial pvt sector activity (tourism, REC bus’…) while preserving public assets that appreciate in value over time -an incredible investment for the economy.”
