It’s a good time to learn (and teach) the history of the Scopes Trial, as attacks on science and expertise are on the rise again.

Randy Moore, a recipient of NCSE's Friend of Darwin award, discusses the Scopes trial with Science News. www.sciencenews.org/article/scop... #ScopesSunday
100 years after the Scopes trial, science is still under attack
In 1925, John Scopes was indicted for teaching evolution. Science News looks at the forces that led to the trial and how expertise was the big loser.

This is the kind of headline (and mentality) that really annoys me. Social Security is more than just a political football. For real people all across America-outside of the beltway-this is an issue with devastating consequences. People are already hurting. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Democrats seize on a new issue to use against the GOP: Social Security
As Democrats link Trump to Social Security’s struggles, he reiterates his promise to protect the agency’s benefits while also carrying out sweeping staff and spending cuts.

As global markets melt down, Trump is turning to … pro golf.
The president is headed to a LIV Golf event hosted at one of his Florida clubs.
It’s another example of Trump prioritizing his relationships with the Saudis — they own LIV — and blending his personal business and presidential office.
