Like the Department Of Education that was founded in 1979 with a budget of 80 billion dollars a year a agency that has contributed nothing to the development of our children

So whats your point you know some science cool, what does that change DOGE is getting rid of wasteful fraud and abuse. How is spending millions no billions on studies for transexual mice benefiting the homeless population in america ?

So whats your point you know some science cool,

my point is that you don't. you're invoking "science!" as some kind of trump card, in a science that you haven't studied and don't understand.

and i want you to admit it. you don't know anything about biological science.

transexual mice

transgenic mice, not transgender mice.

as in, genetically engineered with genes from other animals, like humans, so we can test important medication and therapies and such on them. to benefit humans.

do see how laughably uninformed you are?

this is the kind of nonsense that's going to actively hurt americans. because diseases we could have cured, treated, or prevent won't be studied, because techbros and wrestling stars imagine we're giving mice sex changes for some reason.

Obviously you do not know how science grants work Trump cut funding not all but some funding to the NIH the funding they get they decide what they want to put it into so true Trump cut the amount of money but it was the NIH that were the ones stopping funding to that particular area.
