It's April 21st. This is entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI, what everyone's talking about. Bill Nye, the science guy, is firing shots at the Trump administration's proposed 2027 budget for NASA. They're pushing a 23% cut that's $5 billion less overall, including a 46% slash to science programs. This comes right after the inspiring Artemis II mission, where Ashenaz flew the Orion spacecraft past the moon's far side. Meanwhile, this echoes last year's attempt to gut NASA's science funding by nearly half, but Congress shut that down, approving a 24 point. $4 billion budget back in January, Nye's calling it a huge mistake, pointing to the Constitution's article 1, Section 8, which gives Congress power to promote science progress. He says that's what keeps America ahead, and NASA's our best global brand, pumping $75.6 billion into the economy last year. He's also ripping the new proposal as lazy, full of typos like mixing up 2026 and 2027,

and just sloppy cut and paste. Work. You can't lead in space without leading in science, so expect Congress from both sides to block these cuts again, and keep NASA soaring.
