The Trump administration is reportedly planning to cut at least 2,145 high-ranking Nasa employees with specialized skills or management responsibilities.

According to documents obtained by Politico, most employees leaving are in senior-level government ranks, depriving the agency of decades of experience as part of a push to slash the size of the federal government through early retirement, buyouts and deferred resignations.

The documents indicate that 1,818 of the staff currently serve in core mission areas, like science or human space flight, while the others work in mission support roles including information technology, or IT.

    The result of this move is invariably an American dark age.

    And once again, Russia benefits. MAGA is deliberately destroying America, and it is all by design. We will never be free if this nightmare until Americans realize that the people running this administration aren’t just evil, they aren’t just stupid or incompetent, they aren’t just corrupt. They are TRAITORS, and are destroying America DELIBERATELY. Until this is fully acknowledged, and all those people rounded up and punished, America can never go back to anything resembling a normal society
