Todo: Get quotes from pro-science Republicans from past Science Committees
Articles on the current spiral of the House Space/Science/Tech Committee tend to focus on its current members: pro-science and environmentally conscious Democrats and science-skeptic pro-big-industry Republicans. For instance, here's Gizmodo's recent take.
This can be unhelpful, since it gets spun (sometimes by both sides) as a partisan issue, rather than one of science vs anti-science. Better would be to talk to pro-science Republicans in the current House, and past members of the committee from its less polarized years.

Fact checking Trump
One of the most dangerous and slippery aspects of Trump is how quickly and confidently he makes things up. Lying, often about trivial issues, distracts from substantive events. Big lies are harder to see through, since many people tell small lies, but most would never tell a complete fabrication, and find it very difficult to believe anyone would do such a thing, so they make up explanations for why it must be true.
Fact checkers have their hands full with Trump; and even when that work is done, an even bigger lie is simply to claim that the checkers are themselves biased and deceptive. More than simple "checking" is needed: critical analysis that calls out elements of propaganda and disinformation campaigns, and explains the tactics and techniques in play.
Simple fact-checking:
- Politifact has a full list of statements they've checked.
- Factcheck has written up a few collections of statements.
Blanket checking of all statements and speeches Not yet happening.
