“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0

Ignorance Is Bliss 0

At least, that appears to be a tenet of the Trump maladministration. Via the Las Vegas Sun, Michael Hiltzik catalogs the casualties in Donald Trump’s war on science. A snippet:

The most notable and explicit confession, though perhaps the least surprising, came from the Department of Energy.

Referring to a list of grant terminations announced in October 2025, the agency admitted that it terminated or canceled 283 grants “solely” based on whether their recipients were in states that had cast its electoral college votes for Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election and had two Democratic senators. Meanwhile, 340 other grants from states that voted for Trump were left in place.

Apparently, the Trump maladministration plans to inensify its ethnic cleansing war against immigrants who are not from white people from South Africa.

Personally, I can’t argue with her, because she is quite correct:

A Haitian woman who has lived in the U.S. for two decades accused President Donald Trump’s administration of committing “ethnic cleansing” by pushing to deport her and others living under Temporary Protected Status back to her home country.
