Of all the terrible things happening in America, what they're doing to their science infrastructure, while not the worst in immediate human impact, is going to be one of the hardest to recover from. US science is done for a generation or more. And that's all China needs to take over.
A top scientist quit RFK's NIH after it demanded his science be reviewed, not by top peers, but by "political appointees," and forbade him from telling a reporter the truth that ultra-processed foods are less addictive than drugs...because that is not an RFK belief. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...

Trump Just Did the Most Corrupt Thing Any President Has Ever Done
He’s using the White House to get rich from anonymous investors—and it’s hardly even a news story.

As the transactional President… what did he give up for this plane?
EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.
