The most distressing part of this is the way the NSF, the funder here, just gave into the administrations illegal takeover if their programs. The NSF was created by Congress and isn’t even within the regular agency structure of the executive branch. Buncha Quislings

    The executive has the last say whether funds are released to be spent.

    Congress can authorize funds. Doesn't mean they can authorize and spend infinitely without checks and balances.
