Some good news, some bad news, and some background

With the seeming onslaught of attacks on reality coming from all over the country, I hate to add to the bad news... but I will because the bad news shows just how silly antiscience legislators can be, and there's also some good news to go along with it. So that's nice. And I'll end with an article that shows us why those of us in the reality-based community have such a hard time pushing back against nonsense.
