Trump Just Scrapped Over 100 Federal Advisory Boards, Including NASA's
Who needs expert advice when you can just trust your gut? Trump is clearing out independent committees across the entire federal government.
Trump decided that more than a hundred federal advisory committees were taking up unnecessary space, so he simply shut them down or put them on ice.
These weren't just random chat groups. They were made up of outside scientists, industry veterans, and researchers whose actual job was to check agency homework and keep places like NASA accountable. Now, agencies get to grade their own math without pesky outside experts asking uncomfortable questions about safety or spending.
Former board members are sounding the alarm that major decisions about science and space exploration will happen behind closed doors without independent reality checks.
Government efficiency apparently starts with removing the people who politely mention that an idea makes no sense.
