Some of us were asked to change words and still have their awards frozen. Like me. I'm some of us.

The Republicans will hold SNAP as a hostage against the Democrats.

They have work requirements already (and that applies to 16 -59 yrs okd). Now, they are doing withholding SNAP to make people hungry while healthcare costs could skyrocket!

I will not be surprised when that happens. Nothing surprises about this regime.

Not just genetically diverse but also how geography and environment influence health, rural communities are one of their priority focus areas. Given the Republicans pandering to rural communities, you'd think they would support that work.

I see Bill Cassidy M.D. from Louisiana (LA) there, too.

We are all going to feel the effects of public aid funding cuts. ALL OF US. If you think ER waits are long now, you have not seen anything yet!

Members of the military who oppose fascism,
Please keep this phone number where you can find it.

Hey scientific journals 👋 Would you consider waiving publication fees for work partially funded by NIH awards that have since been terminated?

It's why I've kept my home stupid. No smart anything. It's a scam to keep you replacing and wasting.

A bunch of young lawyers worked together to make information available about which law firms showed good values. It had an impact. Good for them.

Yep. 💯

By the way whenever we come out of a deep recession like 2008, the rich get richer

Hi, sending people to El Salvador, if they're not from El Salvador, is not deportation. It's human trafficking, and this entire regime is complicit in crimes against humanity.

I hope I live long enough to see them all stand trial with the whole world arrayed against them.

Amazing!

Thanks for posting this. Would it be okay if I shared this on a presentation I'm giving to state and local leaders? I will obviously give you credit!

They are all about the click bait.

I have been sharing this advice to my family for months now. Nothing has surprised me so far. Hope you are safe and in community friend!

NIH funds 30,000 employees in DC and 300,000+ people are funded in all 50 states.

No NIH $ kills hospitals
No Medicaid kills hospitals
No job = no insurance, no Medicaid safety net

Lots of death and despair

Every democrat rep/senator should go to a place where one of Trump's sycophants is too scared to go. Answer their questions honestly and tell them what you intend to do to fight against the insanity.

OMG!! Lol, this is great. Someone with a soundboard on their phone should queue up a bunch of sound effects to play at various intervals.
