We don't have to speculate what ending fluoridation of #water does. We've done the experiment, the results are clear. More childhood cavities and illnesses, higher medical costs, more pain for kids. The arguments to end it are based on bad or misleading science.

Two cities stopped adding fluoride to water. Science reveals what happened
As calls to end fluoride in water get louder, changes to the dental health of children in Calgary, Canada, and Juneau, Alaska, may provide a cautionary tale.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.”
Not that many years ago, Paris was choking in car traffic. And it wasn’t a safe place to ride a bike for transportation, so not many people tried.
This is new. This is a result of deliberate vision, and bold leadership.
Cities are a result of choices.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
