You may have heard that Trump and Vought have requested to hike the military budget to 1.5 trillion next year. To do that, they'll be cutting everything else, including the following:

For the second year in a row, US President Donald Trump has proposed significant cuts to the budgets of major US science agencies. Released Friday, the White House's plan for federal spending next year also includes a ban on using federal funds for subscriptions and publishing fees for some academic journals.

The plan proposes cuts to federal agencies that fund or conduct research on health, space and the environment. Some of the steepest cuts would be made to the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): the budgets of both would fall more than 50% in 2027 compared to their current levels (see 'Budget crunch'). The budget for the US National Institutes of Health would drop 13%.

Science? Who needs it? We're Murica and we have a military.

It's unlikely the Congress will go along with these particular numbers. But if this GOP majority has its way it will go in this general direction.
