The article discusses the widespread denial of science among MAGA supporters and the political elites, emphasizing how their rejection of facts about climate change, vaccines, and environmental issues stems from a mix of ignorance, religious beliefs, and greed. It highlights the long-term consequences of this hostility towards scientific progress, including economic setbacks, health crises, and a regression in civil rights. The piece also critiques Trump's attacks on research funding and education, and how these efforts threaten America's future by undermining expertise and critical thinking.

This article discusses the implications of the recent legislation signed into law by President Trump, known as the "Big, Beautiful Bill." While touted to stimulate the economy and promote financial security, analysis by a legal scholar reveals that it primarily benefits the wealthy while widening existing disparities for low-income families and racial minorities. Key issues include permanent tax cuts that favor the rich, regressive programs like Trump Accounts and the renewal of the New Markets Tax Credit, and measures that cut essential services like Medicaid and food assistance, thereby reducing the ability of poor families to afford basic needs. The law's design largely perpetuates and deepens economic inequality rather than addressing it.
