If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

New York:
$3.66B NIH awards

NIH funding cuts could have ‘devastating impact’ on medical advancements, Chicago researchers say The National Institutes of Health under President Donald Trump announced this month that it was cutting payments covering overhead costs for research institutions that receive its grants.

Freezing out the NIH's funding means freezing out American innovation.

Research into curing cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's all delayed.

And ultimately it won't just cost us advancements in life-saving research, it will cost us lives.

I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

I spend my time in grassroots political strategy. I thought of a technique that could be very effective: we make social media videos in groups! This way it’s not just one person talking on TikTok. This reinforces the seriousness and urgency of what’s being said. We need millions to do it!

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Trump Administration Stalls Scientific Research Despite Court Ruling Using an arcane law, officials have effectively delayed funding from the National Institutes of Health, leaving medical studies in jeopardy.

The Trump administration blocked key parts of the federal government’s apparatus for funding biomedical research, effectively halting progress on much of the country’s future work on illnesses like cancer and addiction despite a federal judge’s order to release grant money.

Perhaps a good story to share with folks who want to learn about how biomedical research works and where advances come from.
