We can do things if we try. We helped the ozone layer, cleaned rivers, made our air breathable again.
Just a week ago people were crying with joy because we went to space again, talking about humanity coming together.
Climate change? WE CAN DO THAT. We CAN.
We just need the will. Let's go.
While we're talking percentages, let's talk about the proposed cuts to NASA's science budget.
NASA is currently 0.36% of US federal spending. www.planetary.org/space-policy...
The proposed budget cuts NASA science by 47%.
NASA science is already on a shoestring, and that string is about to break

THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' ASSOCIATION MUST SEND A FORTHRIGHT MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP CONDEMNING HIS ATTACKS ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT To the Officers, Board of Directors, and Members of the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA): We, the undersigned, call upon the White House Correspondents' Association to use the occasion of the White House Correspondents' Dinner, to forcefully demonstrate opposition to President Trump's efforts to trample freedom of the press. The dinner has long served as a symbol of the vital and irreplaceable role of a free press in American democracy and a celebration of the First Amendment and the journalists who uphold it. President Trump's systematic, sustained, and unprecedented attacks on the free press (detailed below) render his presence at such an event a profound contradiction of its purpose. The collective weight of the administration's actions - retaliatory access bans, coercive regulatory investigations, frivolous lawsuits against the press, defunding of public broadcasting, dismantling of international broadcasting, physical restrictions on journalists, personal verbal attacks on reporters, assaults on the media in official White House press releases and social media posts, the arrest of journalists, and the pardoning of those who committed violence against the press — represent the most systematic and comprehensive assault on freedom of the press by a sitting American president. There is a long tradition of presidents attending the White House Correspondents Association Dinner. But these are not normal times, and this cannot be business as usual with the press standing up to applaud the man who attacks them on a daily basis.
We understand that some journalists plan to wear pocket handkerchiefs or lapel pins with the words of the First Amendment. And continuing in that spirit, we believe the White House Correspondents Association should take stronger action by issuing - from the podium - a forceful defense of freedom of the press and condemnation of those who threaten that freedom, followed by a standing toast to the First Amendment and a pledge to continue upholding such a critical cornerstone of our democracy. Speak forcefully, in front of the man who seeks to undermine our country's long tradition of an independent, strong, and free press. We also urge the WHCA to reaffirm, without equivocation, that freedom of the press is not a partisan issue and that the Association will not normalize this behavior but instead fight back against any officeholder who has waged systematic war against the journalists whose work the dinner celebrates.
100s of journalists — Dan Rather, Sam Donaldson, Jackie Judd and others — have written to the WHCA asking to take a stand against Trump’s efforts to trample freedom of press.

ARGHHHHHHHH. Exactly. Already running into stuff like that with my minions where they won’t take two seconds to look something up or try and fail. Solving the puzzle is 3/4 of the fun
As someone who professionally runs down these kinds of rumors, the answer is often always that “everybody knows” something like cheating or maybe even “dating staffers.” Getting to the bottom of where each claim came from and who knew details is much, much harder. Often it’s all garbled.

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.
