Not OP, but OP did not imply any of the things you mentioned at all.
Also, why is NSF fielding 40,000 proposals per year? That is 110 proposals per day. Is there really that much science to perform and not enough universities to host it? Not at all. It exists because every state and local government and educational institution is incentivized to solicit federal aid. Even if a school is located in Beverly Hills, federal aid will be solicited at all levels in K-12 and higher education. Republicans are saying they don't want anything to do with that level of centralized government.
Why is this the focus of the admin? Science is one of the few things the US is doing well.
The NSF funded my graduate research. It feels like someone is going through my past and burning all of the ladders that helped me grow and succeed.

Is it cancelling current and withholding future grants from Harvard and any university that doesn't allow a government takeover?
Or is it the dismantling science-related government agencies like NOAA and NIH?
Just curious.
The NSF budget is ~$10billion. That's about half of NASA's, 1.2% of the DoD's, 0.5% of the discretionary budget ($1.7 trillion). Why is this the focus of the admin? Science is one of the few things the US is doing well.

No. We did not elect the party majority in Congress or the Supreme Court. If anything, the weakness of our constitution has spoken. Take this as a lesson, and defend your democracy while you still can.
