The Trump administration is shutting NASA's Goddard library down today and things will be archived in a warehouse or "thrown away."

Added to the immense fraud and abuse of taxpayer funds by insurance companies like United Healthcare is RFK, Jr's astonishing ignorance of this fact.
Not only does he not know they're under investigation for fraud, but he plans to give them even more tax money in 2026.
