"2017 was a year which saw the truth - objective, empirical, evidence-based
truth - more battered and abused than any other in the history of our country,
at the hands of the most powerful figure in our government. 2018
must be the year in which the truth takes a stand against power."
- Jeff Flake, United States Senator (R) AZ
