Inside Trump’s “no data, just vibes” approach to science

One of the biggest changes so far during President Donald Trump’s second term has been the steady degradation of basic data collection.  In some cases, moves have been driven by his ideological resistance to the numbers themselves; in others, by a desire to bury uncomfortable trends.

Why conservatives should pay parents to stay home

MAGA thinks the country needs more stay-at-home parents, especially mothers.
