I'm not sure that Trump and most MAGAs hate science and medicine and facts per se.
I think they hate effective government, and science and medicine and facts get in their way of destroying everything in government that actually works.
RFK Jr., however, clearly hates science and medicine.

The crypto industry is trying to ram through the CLARITY Act, a flawed market structure bill that reads like it was written by industry lobbyists.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said that planned US #tariffs on foreign imports will add $900 million in costs in the current period

Props to Booker's staff for prepping this much solid material for him.

Also the fact that they had *this much* legit, compelling, substantive material is a testament to how dire of a moment we're in right now.

HEY WISCONSIN AND FLORIDA: THIS IS IT! VOTE *TODAY!*

We think the US is falling apart because of Trump's reelection. But Trump is just a symptom of a bigger problem:

The US is falling apart as a result of the US allowing an insane wealth distribution, where the rich pay no taxes, because their companies are offshored and now have revenues larger than countries.

This has allowed the malignant to buy both media and social media, which has allowed them to hack democracy by polluting the minds of the uneducated, which THEN has gotten Trump elected.

Sabotaging Social Security: Trump & Musk Move Ahead with Plan to Cut Agency Staff & Critical Services

The Social Security Administration is considering drastic new anti-fraud measures that could disrupt benefit payments to millions of Americans, according to an internal memo first obtained by the political newsletter Popular Information. The changes would force millions of customers to file claims in person at a field office rather than over the phone. An estimated 75,000 to 85,000 elderly and disabled adults per week would be diverted to field offices. This comes even as the Trump administration slashes jobs and closes offices at the agency. Officials in the Social Security Administration who spoke with reporter Judd Legum, founder of Popular Information, have told him that there is an “effort to break the organization.”
