Keep an eye on this!

USPS plans to crack down on mail voting ahead of the midterms, according to a soon-to-be-published proposed rule.

It's an alarming step toward implementing Trump's attack on mail-in voting, which pro-voting groups say is unlawful.

Here's what the proposed rule would do: https://bit.ly/434bg4w

82 years ago on D-Day, young men from Bedford, Virginia crossed an ocean to fight fascism.

Bedford, my hometown, lost more sons per capita that day than anywhere in America. That loss is why the National D-Day Memorial stands here. This town earned it the hardest way imaginable.

The men who gave everything on D-Day knew what the enemy looked like. They knew what was at stake. Today this country is at a moment, we can’t afford to forget what they were fighting against and the price they paid.

Please take a moment to visit the D-Day memorial when you’re in Bedford next time.

Another idea that we will regret.

The Forest Service is trying to shut down research hubs because it says it needs to live within its means. But the agency plans to close facilities that cost less than $1 to rent while keeping open one that costs $1 million.

Absolutely correct! Stand up for Science! Oppose this!

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has proposed rule changes to the federal grant making process. They want to replace scientific experts with “political appointees” to determine research.

The potential for abuse is obvious.

We already know that Big Tech is one of the biggest donors in recent elections. What research into AI, data centers, air pollution, and water contamination might get stopped because the results are inconvenient to those in power?

Tax-funded research belongs to the people and is for our benefit, not the benefit of political motivations and corporate donors.
