Trump fired hundreds at NOAA, Weather Service. Here’s what that means for forecasts.

The moniker “school choice” has always been a label to fool the masses for what is actually happening… the funding of segregation academies and indoctrination centers with public dollars. Has nothing to do with all students or better education
Percent of school vouchers that go to religious institutions (schools and the churches that run them):
Florida - 82%
Arizona ESP - 87% (older AZ program: 96%)
North Carolina - 92%
Ohio - 91%
Wisconsin - 96%
Indiana - 98%

The rapid expansion of state voucher programs follows court decisions that have eroded the separation between church and state.

There’s no “seeing both sides” or “devil’s advocate” when it comes to beating kids. There’s no hypothetical that warrants “BEATING” a child. If you think so, I’m sorry but you’re very likely someone who lacks mental and emotional regulation/capacity.

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public.
If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.

RFK, Jr. is not a "vaccine sceptic." He is a vaccine denier. He is anti-vaccine. Do not capitulate to their newspeak.
Scientists are bracing for major changes in US biomedical research as Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who has promoted vaccine misinformation and public-health conspiracies, is confirmed as HHS secretary.
