"Researchers are reporting the results of the most sensitive and high-resolution survey to date of three molecular clouds in the Central Molecular Zone near the Milky Way's galactic center, and those three regions are absolutely paying out like slot machines, if slot machines paid out protoplanetary disks. The astronomers estimate that these molecular clouds contain about 300 protoplanetary systems that they were able to identify."

Noem declined to say whether she supported actually taking that step and said Trump would make any decision.

"This is something that's not in my purview to weigh in on," she said. "This is the president's prerogative to pursue, and he has not indicated to me that he will or will not be taking that action."

It's literally a "Keep It Simple, Stupid" approach.

Congressional Republicans aired some of their grievances about public broadcasting to Kerger and Maher at a public hearing in March. Such complaints have been common over the years, but the broadcasters have avoided funding cuts, in large part because members of Congress don’t want to be seen as responsible if a station in their district shuts down. Who wants to be the public official who killed “Sesame Street”?
