Trump's budget proposal cuts $1.4 BILLION from the VA.

This is why a lot of people distrust "intellectual diversity" - it is being used here to water down scientific facts in order to justify worse policy.

Wikipedia is the last major, visible platform for facts that they can’t buy. The attacks are going to be merciless.

Bravos & huge gratitude to President Biden who today, has permanently banned offshore drilling in 625 million acres of ocean. Our precious and vulnerable coastlines can heal and bloom with healthy marine life into the future. Thank you, Mr President.
