- Be aware of how federal agencies, such as the DOJ and EPA, can be allegedly weaponized or undermined to serve political agendas rather than public interest.
- Support independent journalism and fact-checking initiatives to counter misinformation and hold powerful individuals and institutions accountable for their actions.
