What's going on?

This would be interesting to hear, I’ve applied to both LLNL and LANL many months ago and suddenly both labs called me for interviews in the past 2 weeks. Maybe I should go the LLNL route with this tidbit.
Rumors are of big cuts to science funding. Mason said that the overall lab budget is stable or even going up but that funding for science is going down. Lots of rumors that the cuts could be 30% in the science section and implications that the staffing is going to have decrease as much. Anybody have any idea of this number or how this could come about. I read the BBB section on the NNSA and it was hard to figure out what exactly it is saying.
However not to be too conspiratorial but did Project 2025 say anything about the DOE/NNSA labs?

The budget may well be going up at LANL so it is not surprising that more people are getting hired. It all depends on the job you are doing. The issue is that certain portion of the budget are going up and certain portions are going down some managers are now saying that it is clear that just moving people around is not feasible in all cases so things are going to get rough. All I know is that someone pointed out that the Director said that the science portion of the lab is going down but gave go details.

According to the Big D, everything is going great at LANL. Well, that may be the view from the 7th floor of the NSSB, at least.

Project 2025 clearly vilifies science and education!
I thought NNSA is getting a 24% increase in the new budget.
