Democrat Maryland legislator and candidate for U.S. Congress Aruna Miller sees a science emergency in the Trump administration:
In its 41-year-old history the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy has never gone this long without a leader or official mandate. Without science, it's fiction, right .@314action? Trump's science office is a ghost town https://t.co/4XxQ9M5VYn

And yet the nation has survived so far?
Apparently the Party of Science (TM) thinks that science only exists when a bureaucrat sits around sending emails. https://t.co/dKrQSe7hKR

Can't do science without a science tsar collecting a government paycheck, apparently https://t.co/stSMmX5YNK

So far, “science” is still science.

Which article of the Constitution covers science?

WHY is this an important appointment? Science certainly didn't stop simply nobody has been appointed to an office that I would seriously question as being necessary in the first place. FEAR NOT, Science is NOT dead. GROW UP.

Which goes to show you, the White House's Office of Science & Technology is as much of a meaningless symbol as it sounds. https://t.co/AZkx8KkA8Q

Miller made a point, but just not the one she intended.
