"suppresses critical scientific facts because those facts inconveniently stand in the way of the administration's political agenda"
"All That's Gold Does Not Glitter"

"At the end of this week, federal agencies will have submitted their plans to the White House outlining implementation of the Administration's executive order on "Gold Standard Science." The order and accompanying guidance memo have been met with rightful outrage and grave concern across our Earth and space sciences community.
I am heartened to see colleagues from across the scientific enterprise speaking out. Be sure to read the important perspective from the editors-in-chief of AGU's Journals in the latest issue of Advances.
Our editors-in-chief call thoughtful attention to several points from the executive order that we should all be considering:
-That this is a further attempt by the administration to undermine public trust in science by bringing unfounded attacks on the U.S. scientific enterprise.
-That this order suppresses critical scientific facts because those facts inconveniently stand in the way of the administration's political agenda.
-That political appointees with a mandate for advancing that political agenda will now be the gatekeepers of what federal scientific research may be published."
