Neil deGrasse Tyson took a break from sharing science facts and nerdy dad jokes on Sunday to blast Donald Trump in a raging tweetstorm.
Specifically, Tyson targeted Trump’s proposed slashing of federal funding for programs that support the arts, education, and the EPA, which has long been in the crosshairs of the Trump administration.

For a rich man, it appears President Donald Trump is a champ at spending other people’s money.
Trump’s travel costs in the first year of his administration could outstrip everything his predecessor, Barack Obama, spent on travel during eight years as president, CNN reports.
Just 80 days into his tenure, Trump’s jaunts to his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, have cost an estimated $21.6 million, the network reported Tuesday. By comparison, Obama spent about $97 million on personal and work travel, “including ski trips to Aspen and the Obamas’ annual family vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts,” and work trips, according to documents reviewed by Judicial Watch, a conservative group.

A group with alleged historical links to Nazi Germany has told NBC News it was “proud” when President Donald Trump’s deputy assistant wore its medal.
Controversy has swirled around Sebastian Gorka, one of Trump’s top counterterrorism advisers, ever since he attended the president’s Jan. 20 Inaugural Ball wearing the honorary medal of Hungarian nationalist organization Vitezi Rend.
NBC News traveled to Hungary to dig deeper into Gorka’s ties with the group, speaking with members of the organization as well as with locals who knew him when he lived there.
“When he appeared on U.S. television … with the medal of the Vitez Order … it made me really proud,” Vitezi Rend spokesman Andras Horvath said in the Hungarian capital of Budapest. Vitezi Rend is also known as the Order of Vitez.

Two blasts targeting Egyptian churches on Palm Sunday killed at least 38 people and wounded more than 100, according to Health Ministry officials.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi on Sunday evening declared a three-month state of emergency after the blasts rocked two churches, killing dozens.
The first attack hit the St. George Church, packed with worshipers in the Nile Delta town of Tanta, north of the Egyptian capital, killing at least 27 people and wounding 78 others, authorities said.

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley (R) resigned from office Monday and pleaded guilty to two counts of violating campaign finance rules.
“I can no longer allow my family, my dear friends, my dedicated staff and cabinet to be subjected to consequences that my past actions have brought upon them,” he said at a Monday afternoon press conference.
“Though I have committed myself to working to improve the lives of the people of our state, there have been times that I have let you and our people down, and I’m sorry for that.”
Bentley’s resignation comes as the state’s House of Representatives begins hearings on his impeachment following allegations he abused his position as the state’s chief executive to cover up an affair with his former aide, Rebekah Caldwell Mason.

Police on Saturday said they had arrested a man from Uzbekistan suspected of plowing a truck into a department store in the Swedish capital, killing four people and injuring 15.
Authorities confirmed that the 39-year-old suspect was known to security services and described him as a “marginal character.” They would not confirm his status in Sweden.
Speaking at a press conference, the head of Sweden’s National police, Dan Eliason, said security officials had found an object in the truck that “could be a bomb or an incendiary object.”

Police launched a manhunt in Sweden’s capital Friday for a suspect who rammed a truck into a department store in a likely act of terrorism — killing four people and injuring 15 others, officials said.
The vehicle plowed into a crowd on Stockholm’s busy Drottninggatan shopping district before barreling into the side of the Ahlens store, the country’s security agency said. Panicked pedestrians and shoppers were caught scrambling for safety.
During a news conference, police said they were seeking a man in a green jacket and hoodie with a mustache and beard.
Swedish National Police told NBC News that one person was arrested in connection with the rampage, but would not immediately say whether he was a suspect or the man they earlier described. Two others were brought in for questioning, but authorities say they are not suspects but may have information.

The National Security Council has presented President Trump with options to respond to North Korea’s nuclear program — including putting American nukes in South Korea or killing dictator Kim Jong-un, multiple top-ranking intelligence and military officials told NBC News.
Both scenarios are part of an accelerated review of North Korea policy prepared in advance of President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week.
The White House hopes the Chinese will do more to influence Pyongyang through diplomacy and enhanced sanctions. But if that fails, and North Korea continues its development of nuclear weapons, there are other options on the table that would significantly alter U.S. policy.

A federal judge on Thursday blocked the execution of one of eight inmates that Arkansas scheduled for death in a 10-day period — as the state said it plans to proceed with the rest despite criticism that it’s setting the stage for errors.
“The victims’ families have waited far too long to see justice for their loved ones, and today’s decision from Judge Marshall allows all but one of the scheduled executions to move forward,” a spokesman for Attorney General Leslie Rutledge said in a statement.
The prisoners and their lawyers have argued that the “frantic” pace of the lethal injections stopped the state Parole Board from complying with its own rules and regulations for handling clemency applications.
