Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Annual Ntl Endowment for the Humanities budget: $200mill. Ntl Science Foundation: $9bill. Every US taxpayer pays SIXTY CENTS/yr to support NEH vs $27/yr to NSF. If we *doubled* NEH budget, you'd pay just over $1. The NEH funds local museums, public history & community projects in all 50 states.
