So... I'll start with one of them that I mentioned. I'm having a lot of people who are doing a lot of research who point example after example of how Trump's actions have stopped it, whether it's actually taking scientists themselves through immigration action and bouncing them out of our country or putting them in detention or just cutting the funding.
As someone was telling me, a university who's cut their postdoc programs, who's had to stop the number of people they're letting in that are doing fundamentally critical research, that you can't just turn those things on and off at a time that our competitors like China are doubling down and investing in their research and their science, understanding that the future will be shaped fundamentally by

They attacked these elite institutions that were doing science research as well as culture. And then they realized in our generation how much that cost them a century of growth A century of expanded potential and possibility. And now they're seeing things like breakthroughs in AI, robotics, EVs. They want to define the future. They want to lead in the same way that we did.

Is he's declared a cultural revolution of his own, attacking universities, attacking folks that are on the frontiers of science and research, putting them on their defensive, cutting them billions of dollars, making them in a situation where they are stopping research or stopping an inflow of the world's best researchers.

Cannot say in the world of Trump, like he's losing his ability to surprise me when people ask me about his talking about a third term or deporting American citizens to a gulag in El Salvador. I mean, these outrageous things he's said, I've come to expect them and believe him when he says these things. So I don't know if there's surprise. There's been a lot of profound disappointment there.

I know my Republican colleagues in the Senate and some in the House. I know their core values. I listen to them as everything from the signal gate and the problems with Hegseth all the way to just cutting. bipartisan-approved investments in things like science, in some of the bipartisan bills that we pass that deal with gun violence, bipartisan investments in health innovations.
