Few things have broken my spirit more since my diagnosis than watching the dismantling of funding for cancer research.

Watching friends die from cancer, wishing there was more for them, while simultaneously watching the advancements to keep us alive threatened, cut, and our systems dismantled has

Across Social Security right now: in addition to mass firings, elimination of Oversight Division, they are wasting taxpayer dollars by actually paying retirement eligible people FOR A WHOLE YEAR to leave now. Giving others cash incentives to leave now. Destroying Social Security so they can rob it.

The @standupforscience.bsky.social DC rally is on.

What we are hearing from around the country:
"this is big!"
"biggest rally I have seen around here in years and years"

The public cares about medical research--and students, GenZ, and other people too are ready to stand up.

Accusations of antisemitism are going to be the tip of the spear for much of the fascist takeover of the United States.

Those who care about antisemitism must vociferously push back. They want us to be complicit so they have a justification for their actions as well as have a group to blame it on.

Yesterday, I was speaking at USC and one of the students brought up that they had witnessed Charlie Kirk raising his arm in a Nazi salute as a "sarcastic" response to a student berating him for standing by Musk.

This stuff will keep spreading. As always, it will be framed as a joke. Until it isn't.

We are proud to have Dr. Fola May as an expert on our C4 board. The importance of knowing your family's cancer history as well as keeping your physician updated on any new cancers in the family are critical. Not all colorectal cancer pre-disposing cancer mutations show up as CRC. Talk to your doc!

One of the most important things to watch to genuinely understand how broken and f’ed this country is as exemplified by the repugnant racist & liar, JD Vance. I’m so happy to be his enemy.

Bhattacharya must be voted out of committee and he also must face a full Senate floor vote.

Many, many things could happen to stop that at any stage.

The Republican House Budget Resolution's Potential $880 Billion in Medicaid Cuts by Congressional District The Republican House budget resolution would cost congressional districts an average of $2 billion each and could eliminate coverage for 15.9 million people.

House leadership may not want to own up to cutting health care but that's precisely what they've ordered - to the tune of $880 BILLION. Here's what slashing federal Medicaid funding would look like by Congressional district: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

New Urban Institute report on impact of cutting federal $ for #Medicaid expansion. If in place in 2026, states must increase their spending by $44b in that year (+26%) or drop expansion with 16m losing coverage. 3.4m would lose coverage right away due to trigger laws: www.urban.org/research/pub...

Reupping my blog from yesterday. The major #Medicaid cuts under consideration to meet the budget resolution target of at least $880b in cuts are the same Medicaid cuts from failed 2017 repeal bills. House GOP leaders are just trying to disguise them as anti-fraud. ccf.georgetown.edu/2025/02/24/s...

Dr. Vinay Prasad Embraces Policy-Based Evidence Making Policy-based evidence making means working back from a predefined policy to produce underpinning evidence.

Vinay Prasad specifically tasked our incoming NIH director with doing “research” that confirms his predetermined conclusions to influence political decisions.

Science as a weapon.

Reported him for impersonation on X today.

100% this. NIH dollars fuel local and regional economies. If only this admin cared about real people and not funding their tax breaks for trillionaires…

My father had lifelong disabilities from having polio as a child and died from complications of post-polio syndrome. This is an issue that is highly personal to me and an infuriating aspect of this admin & HHS secretary appointment. Shameful and wrong.
