"Vance is a soulless striver who will sell off anything if he thought it would give him more power. We don’t have to ask if he would betray his wife and kids. He does so nearly every day by promoting a vision of America that has no room for them in it."

“Structural ignorance.” Yes.
Public health depends on citizens accepting scientifically-grounded guidance. When official institutions produce politically-determined science and independent verification infrastructure is eliminated, the capacity for evidence-based health policy collapses, writes Renée DiResta.

California’s leadership on clean air and climate began under Governor Ronald Reagan and was strengthened by President Richard Nixon — a bipartisan legacy more than half a century strong.
While Trump attempts to put our progress in reverse, California will continue to lead.
