This whole thread is hugely important— it chronicles the on-going disappearance of a broad swath of critical publicly-funded data across US department and agency websites.
A new era of government censorship has begun.
It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself
