The whole thing is obviously comical, but the fact that the political officials clearly ordered the Department of Energy to delete a recommendation made by actual experts just because of partisan politics is actually pretty bad.
There are many reasons that you don't do this.
Specifically, one reason for such compartmentalization is to make sure that a spy inside the USG never gets a full list of such things.
Why would the administration need such a list?
It's especially funny because Sean Davis's website, the Federalist, pitches itself for "lovers of freedom."
You know. Freedom; where in order to visit the United States, you must agree to be permanently sterilized!
The silliest objection to birthright citizenship is that “many other countries don’t have it.” OK? America is better. I thought the right agreed with that. We have it because the U.S. is exceptional. Next!
I am begging a single trump support to explain to me why you are okay with this. You spent years saying you wanted him to "drain the swamp," yet when he proves to be the actual swamp creature, you stay silent. Why?
The right-wing meltdown over the citizenship case is shockingly dishonest. The ruling preserves the status quo. The majority landed where most conservative scholarship has been. The dissents land much closer to the majority's position than to the president's. This is not Roe.
70 years ago, people like this were raging about having to let black students into their whites-only schools. 125 years ago, they were raging about the Irish and the Italians being permitted to live here. 175 years ago, they were running riot in Kansas to make it a slave state.

I love that we get a show no matter what happens.
A law stays the same, Cracker Barrel changes their logo, there's a black person in a car commercial, someone uses a convection oven - the "hysterical man" show comes on no matter what
