The move, framed as reducing bureaucracy, is quietly eroding America’s scientific credibility. Already, labs in Alaska studying forests and wildfires are shutting down, while weather balloon launches—critical for storm warnings—are suspended due to staff cuts. The National Marine Fisheries Service is also under fire, weakening fisheries enforcement and nearly killing a major ocean monitoring network, though the Senate intervened. This isn’t about efficiency—it’s a dangerous gamble with public safety and evidence-based policy, sidelining science that challenges powerful narratives.
