Continuing its streak of exceptionalism — the US has one of the highest rates of traffic deaths in the OECD.

The scariest thing I've seen this Halloween? These posters from the Department of Labor. They're post-war American Dream + cold war soviet propaganda + 90s Abercrombie and Fitch ad ... and a dash of fascism.

We live in a world that is getting increasingly complex.
Consider just our attempts to reduce global emissions. Even as a positive initiative, it has elaborate, and sometimes unknown, knock-on effects.
It's a recipe for overwhelm and uncertainty.

Between 2011 and 2025, the U.S. dropped significantly in global freedom rankings, which assess people's access to political rights and civil liberties. There are now 52 countries that are more free than the U.S., according to these data.

Trust in statistics cited by Trump vary SIGNIFICANTLY by political party. 76% of Dems believe only a small portion, or none, of Trump's cited stats are reliable. While only 9% of Republicans believe the same.

There are so many reasons this data loss and manipulation is bad news. It erodes trust in the government statistics that remain. It means government policy can’t be accurately assessed. It gets in the way of researchers, doctors and families that use government data in their daily lives.

Trump's crew has been manipulating official statistics since day 1. There are countless examples of disappearing data: from the CDC, NIH, EPA, Census, DOJ, etc. But they’re also touting incorrect data, misrepresenting data, and even altering data.
Here, a line of NIH spending is just gone:
