They Blinded Science With Me, Con't

Since the White House is too incompetent to even moderately politicize science coming out of the executive branch these days, the Trump regime is just getting rid of all the scientists anyway.

The science division of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) was unstaffed as of Friday as the three remaining employees departed this week, sources tell CBS News.

All three employees were holdovers from the Obama administration. The departures from the division -- one of four subdivisions within the OSTP -- highlight the different commitment to scientific research under Presidents Obama and Trump. 

Under Mr. Obama, the science division was staffed with nine employees who led the charge on policy issues such as STEM education, biotechnology and crisis response. It's possible that the White House will handle these issues through staff in other divisions within the OSTP.

On Friday afternoon, Eleanor Celeste, the assistant director for biomedical and forensic sciences at the OSTP, tweeted, "Science division out. Mic drop" before leaving the office for the last time.

Oh well.  Guess it's hard to tell America that climate change is a hoax if the place is full of scientists who believe in climate change and have the figures to back it up.

No science is best science if you're the Trump regime.
