Donald Trump is a frequent poster on Truth Social, and his followers blindly reshare his posts and it makes headlines almost instantaneously.

Ganga. What was noteworthy was not the fact that unlike the more hapless victims sacrificed to the unfeeling river goddesses and gods each year, this quotidian event only made headlines because he was a senior bureaucrat. Instead, his death should bring to our attention how far the quality of money strains the value of life. Aditya Vardhan Singh, deputy director of UP health department, drowned because he was caught in the vice of a current. Three friends reportedly tried to coax divers to rescue him. They demanded ₹10k. Not having ready cash available, one of Singh's friends attempted a UPI transfer. But by the time this was completed, the struggling victim disappeared.

Scientific American has only twice received presidential endorsements. After receiving a presidential endorsement, a prestigious science magazine, only the second in its 179-year history, has entered the political arena. On Monday, Scientific American announced its official endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris with the headline, ‘Vote for Kamala Harris to Support Science, Health, and the Environment.’ After supporting President Joe Biden in the 2020 election, Harris is Scientific American's second-ever presidential endorsement in the publication's history. The editors pushed a candidate who offers the country better prospects, relying on science, solid evidence, and the willingness to learn from experience, writing that the US faces two futures. In the other future, the new president puts public health and safety in jeopardy and rejects evidence, preferring instead absurd conspiracy theories.
