1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.
2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."

Things are about to get really hard for a lot of people. Tariffs start today, there’s rumblings that Social Security might not pay out next month. We can’t get through it alone, we need community. Check in on your neighbors. Plant an extra row in your garden. Take care of each other.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.
The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut.
This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

Mr. Rogers said "look for the helpers," but his advice was for CHILDREN.
If your ass is grown your role is to BE the helper.

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.
