Agreed! And so am I, curious that is. Also hope some update about the deceased scientists are made available. This president is doing a bit more to disclose as compared to previous presidents. Like him or not, this Prez's actively making the effort to keep his campaign promises.
Or more likely, using this as a distraction from failing military operations that were claimed to have been "won" repeatedly for 2 months, continued raising energy prices while campaigning he would lower them, and the Epstein files. But sure, he's being altruistic on this campaign promise.
The only reasons I can think of why your comment would have gotten downvoted is for ideological reasons, e.g. people dislike the president so they downvoted you for saying something even slightly positive about him.
Since HN is not supposed to be used for ideological battle, that seems unfair. So have a counterbalancing upvote.
Another reason I can think of is simple disagreement about facts (or, relatedly, disliking the lack of sources/evidence in the comment).
Like it or not, downvoting for mere disagreement is allowed here[0]. I personally think that any such downvotes should at least be accompanied by a reply, but I haven't been able to find official guidance about that.
