    The full omb proposed change to the world of science in addition to this is absolutely terrifying. I have no idea how it’s not bigger news. It will completely decimate scientific development and integrity in the States. The brain drain will be catastrophic.

    I understand that he’s a Christian Nationalist, but can anyone tell me just what the hell happened to Russel Vought that made him such a colossal asshole? I mean, what is his problem?

    It feels like he’s hell-bent of making Americans suffer.

        “Have you tried voting?”

        “Yes.”

        “Okay, but have you tried voting harder?”
