It's VERY important to understand what's happening with the NASA 🔭 budget. White House proposed cuts to everything *but* Artemis. The GOP-led House proposal restores the size of the budget BUT shifts spending, which is to say *House committee and White House agree on cutting NASA astrophysics* 🧪⚛️

House appropriators approve spending bill that keeps NASA budget flat

The House Appropriations Committee advanced a spending bill May 13 that rejects many of the cuts to NASA proposed by the administration.

Spot on "The real takeaway from this film, for me, is about who gets to make art, whose voice matters, and what they choose to disregard, in this creative climate. For all its attempts to be shocking, Fennell’s film has stripped away all that is radical about Wuthering Heights." tinyurl.com/2nj9r4ux

Wuthering Heights is at its heart a story of class and race. Emerald Fennell has got it all wrong | Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett
