The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

Mike Johnson was pissed that we pushed a petition through and are forcing a vote on extended ACA tax credits. He just can’t stop losing.

But right now we need your help. We need everyone to contact Congress and tell them to get it done:
Tell Congress: Demand Speaker Johnson hold a vote IMMEDIATELY on the ACA tax credit extension
Contact Congress today!

Trumpler et al. are kidnapping unaccompanied children at the border and dumping them into jail-like warehouses. Now they are telling these kids that they have to pay a huge fine or return to the dangerous place they were escaping from. This is child abuse!!

We just learned that the court in my lawsuit — Neguse et al. v. ICE — has temporarily stopped the Trump administration from blocking Members of Congress from unannounced oversight visits to immigration detention facilities.

The rule of law will prevail.

Will this trigger an exodus? I'd rather see Trump exit our used-to-be democratic nation.
