Trump Administration Proposes Drastic Cuts to NASA Science Funding, Threatening JPL - Monterey Park Today
The Trump administration has proposed a 23% cut to NASA's overall budget, including a 46% reduction in funding for the agency's science programs.

The vanishing newspaper cartoonist
When Rob Tornoe sat down with two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Walt Handelsman, the conversation was less about one retirement and more about an extinction. Handelsman’s decision to put down his pen marks another milestone in the quiet collapse of staff editorial cartooning in America.
