E.P.A. Says It Will Eliminate Its Scientific Research Arm. Okay, so this is happening. The E.P.A., the Environmental Protection Agency, is apparently going to eliminate its scientific research arm. Let that sink in for a moment. Science. Research. Gone. It’s like a punch to the gut for anyone who values, you know, facts and understanding.

For the second time in a week, House Republicans blocked a resolution aiming to release the “Epstein Files,” despite continued pressure from some of President Trump’s supporters. This time, Democrats, led by Congressman McGovern, attempted to attach a bipartisan resolution, sponsored by a Republican and a Democrat, to a rescissions bill, which would have made the files public, excluding sensitive information. However, the amendment failed along party lines, with Republicans voting it down. This followed a non-binding resolution introduced by the Republican majority, which would only request the release of the files rather than mandate it.
