There are 18 million cancer survivors in the U.S. That’s 6x more than there were 50 years ago, thanks to decades of progress driven in large part by federally funded research. We can’t go back.

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

After the Wednesday massacre at the CDC, Senator Patty Murray calls for the immediate firing of RFK Jr, a public health terrorist. Enough is enough!

Congress wants to cut the smartest investment taxpayers ever made Virtually every smartphone on the planet runs on a chip paid for by American taxpayers — a chip that I helped invent. Now Congress is moving to cut funding for the National Science Foundation that …

Dave Patterson (UC Berkeley) points out why public investment in basic research and education is vital, and defunding it is incredibly short-sighted.

Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care.

If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research… I have nothing left to say to you. Please unfollow me.

This will subvert Preventative Services in our healthcare system. I teach Nurse Practitioners that this is a reliable source to use during decision making cancer screenings. Dismantling the USPSTF advisory board is a guarantee we will move further away from making America healthy again.

Death Spiral: Republicans' Medicaid cuts threaten the health care of all Americans-even people on private insurance. 1) Medicaid cuts cause millions to lose health care 2) People without coverage can't pay for the care they need 3) Rural hospitals lose significant revenue 4) Health care workers are laid off, rural hospitals close 5) Entire communities lose health care services

Chaos at the CDC’s vaccine meeting.

Work at NCI or know someone who does? Are you a cancer researcher whose work impacted by the funding cuts?

Map of the U.S. showing voter support for cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, or food assistance) by congressional district. Support for SNAP cuts ranges from 5% to 14%. Created by Data for Progress.

There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to SNAP, the federal program that provides food assistance to millions of low-income Americans.

What GOP’s Medicaid cuts could cost New Jersey | NJ Spotlight News Work requirements, restrictions on hospital aid and other Medicaid changes could cost NJ $3.6B a year and eliminate coverage for 360,000 residents.

Here's what #NJ07 Rep Tom Kean Jr calls "protecting Medicaid" - $3.6 Billion/year cut from healthcare in NJ, 360,000 NJ residents losing coverage.

His website says healthcare must be "affordable to every American." His actions say the opposite.

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.

Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

It's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing that will break the siege. Remember this. Try.

A shameless plug for the TV show “Andor” but it was just May the 4th and this quote felt like it was talking right to us.

Goodnight friends. 💚 Get some rest.

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

I am often asked about my sincere belief in others & how that gives me hope.

Today @booker.senate.gov gave me hope. He was heroic. He is a helper.

As I say in my book Find The Helpers, what matters more than the moment is what we do next. Corey Booker just showed the way for what to do next.
