The Federalist: Trump Should Undo The Politicization Of 'Science'-Based Agencies
President Biden's amendments to "scientific integrity" policies have politicized federal agencies like the EPA and NIH, allowing career employees to influence policy decisions and file complaints against political appointees. This undermines the president's authority and democratic accountability.
Critics argue these changes legalize insubordination and hinder agency leadership, as employees can dismiss studies they deem "political." To restore scientific integrity, it is essential for Trump to reverse these amendments and reassert presidential control over agency policymaking.
The Federalist: Failed Interior Secretary Haaland Now Wants To Ruin New Mexico
Deb Haaland has declared her candidacy for governor of New Mexico, marking her as the first high-ranking Biden administration official to seek a new political office. Her tenure as Secretary of the Interior has faced criticism for rising energy prices and halted resource development, which some argue has harmed local economies and communities.

As she embarks on her gubernatorial campaign, concerns grow that her policies may replicate the negative impacts seen during her time in federal office.

On The Water: Weakfish in Narragansett Bay
Weakfish populations in Rhode Island have fluctuated significantly throughout the 20th century, experiencing periods of abundance and scarcity. Factors such as overfishing, habitat destruction, and natural cycles contributed to their decline, particularly in the 1980s. However, recent years have seen a resurgence in weakfish numbers, making them a popular target for anglers.
Fishing for weakfish is best during moving tides, with optimal times being early morning, evening, and at night. Effective methods include chumming with squid, shrimp, or clams, and using light tackle to avoid tearing their soft mouths. As weakfish are increasingly found in Narragansett Bay, anglers can enjoy a variety of fishing techniques to catch them.
