arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-06 09:13:29

The Project 2025 document outlined additional ideas, such as the elimination of scientific research at the EPA, something that has since occurred. It also suggests that finding solutions to climate change is part of a "partisan political agenda." So, its hostility to scientific findings extended well beyond the biomedical fields. But what about Congress? It's safe to conclude that this faction, which is now running the government, views science and scientists as ideological opponents and has b

As White House talks about impounding NASA funding, Congress takes the threat seriously

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-04 02:54:25

This has been a good week for the US space agency in terms of the federal budget. On Tuesday, a committee in the US House of Representatives passed a $24.8 billion budget bill for the coming fiscal year. Then, two days later a Senate committee passed a $24.9 billion budget for NASA.

These bills are not final

That quickly shifting landscape has some doubting whether the country's aging lawmakers are up for the increasingly complicated task. The issue is stark, with a larger percentage of Congress over the age of 70 than ever before, and a long stri
