In government, scripted talking points frequently take the place of careful, analytical discussion of complex policy issues.
I may not be able to change the broader culture on my own, but I can be accountable for how I participate in it. #NHPolitics

When I tell people that pandemic/epidemic preparedness & vaccination are critical to national security, people often say “huh”?
The 1918 pandemic killed more people than WWI. In WWII flu tore up troops in Europe, so we invented flu vaccines before the Nazis & liberated Europe.

Ending the flu vaccine requirement is incredibly stupid.
Our military has implemented safe & healthy vaccines for nearly 250 years.
Hegseth’s putting our soldiers, sailors, and airmen at great risk.

You've been asking for this one for years. We heard you.
We announced a change in AP style at the @ACESEditors conference today: It's now healthcare, one word, in all uses.
We also changed childcare and daycare, closing them up to one word rather than two.
This guidance is live on AP Stylebook Online now.

Re: a constitutional ban on an income tax, the gap between what politicians say publicly and what we believe privately is pretty small. Pretending otherwise only adds to the cynicism people already feel about politics.

Artemis II matters because it reminds us what coordinated, science-driven ambition looks like.
With the post-COVID rise of anti-science/anti-intellectualism in the mainstream and the subsequent dismantling of our pillar scientific institutions (NIH, CDC etc)…
We needed this.
