Trump Administration’s Continued War Against Science, Research, Public Health and the Rule of Law – Part 10
This article is the tenth in a series by Sabrina I. Pacifici focused on the Trump administration’s unrelenting policy of attacking science, healthcare, public health and the rule of law. The cornerstone of this series are topical highlights about hundreds of anti-government actions conducted by this administration, tracked and surfaced as they are implemented each month. The greater goal of the series is to identify the consequences of these actions to shatter the health and welfare of our nation – terms broadly used to encompass our nation’s democracy. Critical government services, data collection and analysis, military promotions, censorship of the media, and governance across all agencies have been been disrupted to maintain one objective – fealty to this president – not the Constitution, the public and the rule of law. Together these articles form an actionable pathfinder to identify the myriad ways the fundamental components of our government – legislative, executive, and judicial, with checks and balances preventing any one branch from gaining too much power, have been disrupted and rendered inoperative.
