"Today the president is taking credit for a cease-fire in Gaza. But who, in America, was first in calling for that exact thing?

· cancelled funding and permits for solar and wind energy programs, exacerbating climate change and increasing energy prices
...
· removed ACA subsidies that will double health insurance costs for millions of Americans
...
· kidnapped people off the streets by masked agents with no warrant
· threatened to use blue cities for target practice to fight the “enemy within”...
·created onerous roadblocks for international scientists, the engine of American discovery & innovation
· eviscerated the CDC so we may not even know when the next pandemic arises...
This administration has:
· attempted to drastically cut the science budget
· replaced respected administrators at NIH & NSF with political appointees who lack relevant expertise,
...
as a right and a pillar upholding "the edifice of our societies" that must be protected and defended.
"If...we know what is happening in Gaza, Ukraine and every other land bloodied by bombs, we largely owe it to" the journalists.
