Everything that is wrong with the Trump Administration results from The Heritage Foundation and its Project 2025. The bill that passed today resulted in destruction of Democracy, as we know it. If the No Kings Act doesn't pass, then this Country is headed back to 1934 Germany.

I was an academic biochemist for 40 years and, every year, it became more difficult to get grant money. The last 26 years of my career were spent at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia PA. Back then, my name was Cheryl F. Scott. In between my research, I taught enzyme kinetics and complement activation to perspective Clinical Fellows.

The American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society are actively engaged to communicate the value of independent and free scientific research and publishing .

And the American Library Association is fighting against censorship.

It needs to start somewhere.
