Jared Isaacman, appointed as the head of NASA, appears ill-informed about significant budget cuts proposed by the Trump administration, which could reduce the agency's science budget by 50%. His recent tweet revealed his lack of awareness and downplayed serious concerns raised by news reports. This response has drawn criticism from observers, who believe Israel should be more engaged and informed ahead of crucial confirmation hearings, especially with the potential impacts on future space research funding at stake.
I'm a humble nominee on the outside, hoping for a chance to contribute. I don't know anything about those supposed cuts, but the President said he's targeting fraud, waste & abuse w/ a scalpel - not a hatchet.
This is not a good sign. It would seem by virtue of this tweet that [Isaacman] has not been following the news that closely - even if he is still a nominee.
Nominees should avoid making public comments and IMHO this would have been a perfect opportunity for him to show that he is engaged.
The Trump administration is looking to slash the space agency's science budget by as much as 50 percent, which could prove disastrous for the future of space research.
