Undoing science and further eroding confidence in our public health capabilities..Wonder what Senator Cassidy will say (or do?) now?

US Institute of Peace renamed after Trump - BBC News Control of the organisation, which was founded to as an independent think tank, is the subject of a legal battle.

So hard to absorb this latest challenge for the Kennedy family - while one family member guts the very system and research that could help…

Here’s a trend that everyone can agree on in the DMV: #cherryblossom #peakbloom
