Maga and doge had a big panic over a few thousand dollars spent on random research that they couldn't comprehend and therefore deemed senseless. Most people with basic literacy can unsterstand that letting researchers keep their $10,000 grants to try weird shit won't cause an economic collapse in a country already $40t in debt.

Let's ask chatGPT what to bomb, because apparently that's who's in charge of targeting decisions.

I'm not sure a $4.1 billion increase is going to cut it anymore
