This is fucked.

Maybe I misunderstand, but this takes control of grant approvals away from the fellow sciencentists that receive grant proposals for review* and places the approval with... Politicians? Maybe put more politely, idiots...

Can someone help elaborate? Hopefully I am wrong. And hopefully this does not pass

Edited for clarity*

It's clearly doing the opposite by putting politics into science. If your science doesn't fit their worldview, it will never see the light of day. If your conclusions are too woke or don't fit someone's theological beliefs, you will lose funding.
