The Republican shutdown means clinical trials will stop enrolling new patients for life-saving treatment.

But, hey, at least construction on Donald Trump's golden ballroom for his billionaire buddies will continue.

You probably pay more in federal income taxes than some of America’s biggest, most profitable corporations.

It’s not right — and we cannot afford to let it continue.

We need strong crypto regulation – not an industry giveaway that puts our economy at risk and supercharges President Trump’s corruption.

Donald Trump's bill makes your life more expensive this year, next year, the year after that, and the year after that.

Nothing that has ever helped you has been funded by industry

Confederacy of dunces

This administration is putting you and everyone you know at increased risk of disease and death. Full stop.

I have no words. I’m proud of what we accomplished as a network and utterly disgusted by what is happening.

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

The Republican budget summed up in one headline. #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

The end of US leadership in science, technology, and innovation.

All in one little table.

A tremendous gift to China, courtesy of the GOP.

Experts Say CDC Cuts Will Cost Lives This Medical News article discusses how recent workforce and program reductions at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will affect public health.

Experts inside and outside the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been left stunned and puzzled by the decimation of a nearly 80-year-old agency that has been a global leader in public health.

Learn how decimating the CDC will cost many lives in the US and abroad. #MedSky

Even if the citations were real, it was rambling garbage written by idiots.

Liars and frauds

History Will Judge the Complicit Why have Republican leaders abandoned their principles in support of an immoral and dangerous president?
