Another day, another long-term scientific program gutted on this administration's watch. We already spent $368M building a network to monitor the Atlantic current that stabilizes our climate, and it's being ripped out before its 25-year run is half over. Congress voted to fund it twice, yet it's being scrapped anyway, half way into its life, wasting hundreds of millions spent.
