Ranking Member Lofgren Reacts to Latest Trump Scheme to Undermine Science - House.gov
Overview
House Science Committee Democratic staff say President Trump has fired the entire National Science Board, a move that Ranking Member Zoe Lofgren called a scheme to undermine science. A Washington Post report indicates several NSB members received White House notices terminating their positions, removing a key advisory body that helps guide federal research priorities and oversight. Observers note the action fits a pattern of the administration removing or reshaping governance at science and public institutions, alongside recent board terminations and budget proposals affecting agencies.
