Some 10,109 doctoral-trained experts in science and related fields left their jobs last year as President Donald Trump dramatically shrank the overall federal workforce.

 

That exodus was only 3% of the 335,192 federal workers who exited last year but represents 14% of the total number of Ph.D.s in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) or health fields employed at the end of 2024 as then-President Joe Biden prepared to leave office.

 

Every one of the 14 agencies that Science analyzed lost far more STEM Ph.D.s in 2025 than in 2024, before Trump took office. The National Institutes of Health tops the list with more than 1100 departures, compared with 421 in 2024. On average, the 14 agencies lost roughly three times more of these experts in 2025 than in 2024.

The funny thing about Levin is he was a Never Trumper and supported Cruz in the 2016 primaries. He said he'd never vote for Trump in a general election.  Just like we saw in all the Fox host text

Do you think it bothers Trump supporters that the only elections he ever won were against women?   

 

No. I think that's probably a feather in his cap. They hate women.

If Trump was a football coach, his coaching philosophy would be to throw deep on every play for the first three downs.....then on fourth down, go into victory formation and take a knee declaring that the game is over and they won.

 

He wouldn't even bother fielding a defense because in Trump Football, the opposing team isn't allowed to run a play.   Only Trump is allowed to call plays.

We should definitely celebrate Trump being such a masculine Alpha. 

 

Donald Trump will launch a “revenge” attack on the White House media when he confronts them in person at a Washington dinner on Saturday night—then flee before there can be revenge...

 

Trump will leave the White House Correspondents’ Association event after making his speech, so he will miss the presentation of press awards—one of which would be certain to embarrass him.

The bigger problem right now seems to me to be the egregious spend thriftiness of the government... at least or especially regarding things/people that have nothing to do with the American people.

 

Stop funding all these fucking wars, for example. Get some seives on the gross spending, entice/incentivize production to move back to the states, and get back to increasing energy production. Stop hemmoraging money and printing more of it to paper over the hemmorage. Maybe then we can start to see the cost of things start to lower.

They will skyrocket the debt as they crash the economy. Then when they get voted out again, all of a sudden the debt will matter. Rinse and repeat.
