Trump has cracked down on universities and abducted student protestors. He sued news outlets over reporting he didn’t like. He cut off funding for public broadcasting because he thought it was biased against him.
We must fight back against all of Trump’s attacks on free speech.

A lot of things about society suck a whole lot but one of them is that some single person will get filmed being a dickhead and then we’ll spend a full week hyperfixating on them.

The Trump-Republican budget would be a disgrace under any circumstance.
At a time when inequalities of income and wealth in America are wider than they have been in more than 80 years — with the richest Americans taking home near-record amounts of both — the bill is shameful.

The gov’t now says it’ll hire 100 people back at the National Weather Service—a good first step.
But don’t be fooled: the rest of NOAA is still in disarray. You can’t forecast storms accurately without satellites, radar, and the science teams behind them.

Where does your weather forecast come from?
Whether you get your forecast from an app on your phone, a website or a meteorologist on TV, most of the underlying information comes from the federal government.
