Federal workers and supporters marched outside the O'Neill Building on Causeway Street this afternoon to protest what acting President Musk and his minions are doing to wreck government agencies that protect the public.

Is there a transparent list of agencies that were financially dependent on Musk? Should be a real eye opener.

Based on the signs I saw, some of the protesters were graduate students at local universities, protesting cuts to research funding.

And yes, there is too much bloat. And BS. Including in the science industry. Doesn't mean I agree with everything Musk & Trump say.

Do you even know what evaluation of scientific research entails? Have you ever arranged or participated in a third-party scientific or financial audit of a research program?
Of course not. You are just regurgitating the right-wing worm stew like a good baby parrot.
You have no idea how audits, reports, and oversight work. I was a project officer for eight years on federal pass-through research contracts and I can tell.
