Wow! In a clear rejection of the Trump administration’s push to sharply reduce funding for federal science agencies, the United States Senate voted to allocate billions more than requested for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NASA, and the National Science Foundation. By an 82–15 margin, senators approved a “minibus” spending package that funds science, environmental, and related agencies through September 30. The legislation had already cleared the United States House of Representatives last week in an overwhelming 397–28 vote, signaling strong bipartisan support for maintaining (and expanding) federal investment in science and research!
