Mathematician Gladys West dies at 95. She was a hidden figure behind GPS.

Trump, Noem, and this entire criminal administration must be held accountable by Congress for their myriad crimes against the public. It is the solemn constitutional and moral duty of all members of Congress to exercise their legal authority to remove them from executive office.
