"The Trump administration is closing NASA’s largest research library on Friday, a facility that houses tens of thousands of books, documents and journals — many of them not digitized or available anywhere else."

This follows 7 other closures since 2022.

3 just this year.

Final broadcast of ABC News Tonight for 2025. I hope every rep and senator saw it.

Millions are being forced to cancel health insurance because it’s unaffordable. That pressure doesn’t stop with them; it spreads. When people drop coverage, everyone’s rates go up.

Call your Rep and Senators.

“Survey after survey has shown that business owners overestimate how many customers drive to their stores vs walking or biking. In a 2012 Los Angeles study, more than half of the store owners on the bike-laned part of the boulevard thought most of their customers drove. The actual number was 15%.”
I read all the studies on the economic impact of bike lanes. Here's what I learned.
Research proves that bike lanes are good for business. So why do so many stores and restaurants still oppose them?

Translation: the comments aren’t going my way anymore.

Stir up racist panic, smear whole communities, then claim there are “bounties” on you when people push back.

Welcome to accountability. No one’s after you, your credibility just collapsed.

"No vote" has won every single presidential election in the 20th and 21st century.

"No votes" outnumber both dem votes & rep votes. Every. Single. Election.

They are the largest voting block and therefore shoulder a large amount of responsibility for this fuckery.

Not voting is a vote.

Farage would restrict child benefit to "working British people, meaning a couple who both work 37.5 hours a week”. 450,000 children would plunge into poverty.

Tories plan to restore the two child benefit cap.

The war in Ukraine is a rare and striking example of good versus evil.

Few people realize that, although Ukraine has roughly 2-3 times fewer military casualties than Russia, it suffers 20-30 times more civilian casualties.

Russia targets civilians, while Ukraine does not
