Who cares? The statement "MAGA's assault on science is an act of grievous self harm" is, in my view, equivalent to stating "water is wet." The fact that it is published by or even an opinion of the owners of a publication owned by non-US people is irrelevant.

If you feel MAGA's assault on science is NOT an act of grievous self harm, you could provide your argument as to why you believe that to be the case. Otherwise you're just contributing noise.

My statement was intended to alleviate the tension caused by semantic dissonance that was created by the authoritative title and the the authors statement that this is an editorial opinion.

Welcome to the future.
