"Sane voices need to act now, building opposition to this unprecedented plan. Progressives should be unflinching in defining this proposal as a blank check for the same contractors who cannot deliver ships on time, munitions at scale, or clean audits."
"The Trump administration is requesting the cancellation of billions of dollars in funds for renewable energy, environmental justice, carbon removal, space science, and climate change education."
The 2027 budget request from Trump proposes $1.5 trillion for military spending, criticized as irresponsible and morally questionable due to cuts in social and scientific programs.

Proposed cuts include billions for renewable energy, environmental justice, and climate change education, affecting agencies like NOAA.
