Word From Washington

The nonpartisan nonprofit Partnership for Public Service says federal science agencies have lost more than a hundred-thousand workers since the start of 2025 and federal grants for scientific research are down twenty-four percent. The organization says that means fewer food inspectors, slower cancer research and decreased economic output. This is all part of the Partnership’s new online tool, which tracks how these cuts have harmed communities across the country. You can learn more at science-dot-federal-harms-tracker--dot--org.
