The Trump administration is set to lay off over 1,500 scientists and researchers from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce government spending. A congressional report reveals that only a few may be transferred to other agencies, while most will lose their jobs. The EPA currently employs around 1,700 scientists, but Trump has proposed cutting 65% of its workforce. Democratic lawmakers have strongly criticized the move, accusing Trump of trying to dismantle science after previously politicizing it. Source: AP
