The WH budget for FY26 includes a proposed $18B cut to NIH, a $5B cut to NASA, a $5B cut to NSF, a $5B cut to CDC, and a $5B cut to EPA. You don't need a math/econ PhD to see that a $40B bailout to Argentina covers this and more right here in the USA.

When floodwaters hit remote Alaska villages, recovery isn’t as simple as fixing up a home in the Lower 48.

No roads. No hardware stores. Winter closing in.

Penn & Teller covered how vaccines don't cause autism 15 years ago on the show Bullshit! which aired on Showtime.

The illegitimacy of Andrew Wakefield and vaccine disinformation has been widely debunked and discredited over and over again with creative analogies and visuals, no less.
