β€œ.. no modern American president has positioned his family to make so much money while in the White House. Already, since the early days of his reelection campaign, he’s more than doubled his net worth to about $5.4 billion.”

NIH Study reveals no causal link between neurodevelopmental disorders and acetaminophen exposure. A Swedish study with more than 2.5M children also showed no causal affect. Acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy is not linked to the risk of developmental autism ADHD or intellectual disabilities.

Interesting that the right demands firing of individuals for their statements about one of their own, yet continue to freak out about those who were fired for their statements around topics they hold dear? Murder is never the answer.

NEW: More than β€Ž20,500 workers have left or been pushed out of federal health agencies, a ProPublica analysis found.

Staffers say the cuts will leave their agencies less equipped to conduct studies, perform inspections and combat deadly outbreaks.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Will the Senate Save NIH? Rescuing biomedical research is every bit as important as saving Medicaid.

As Robert Kuttner writes, the NIH will need support from Republican Senators to avoid draconian cuts to its FY2026 budget.

After the judge deemed the NIH grant terminations illegal, he noted that the government’s practices were discriminatory:

β€œThis represents racial discrimination, and discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. … I would be blind not to call it out.”

Trump Administration Non-Adherence to Court Orders | Revolving Door Project Tracking the Trump administration's non-adherence to court orders after his illegal funding freeze was blocked by federal judges.

Five months in, the Trump administration is still ignoring court orders. HUD grant recipients say they haven’t received funds despite a federal judge ordering their release in May.

We've compiled a list of the court orders that have been defied here:

HHS has decided that DACA recipients are not worthy of health care. In approximately 60 days, they will lose access to ACA health insurance.

Yet another action of the Trump administration to throw families' health care under the bus in order to achieve their radical anti-immigrant agenda

Science Under Fire in Washington We’re seeing an even more obvious effort from the Trump administration to co-opt science in its efforts to undermine scientific integrity.

418 anti-science actions since inauguration.
66 just this month.

The Trump admin is trying to dismantle science in the US via executive orders, loyalty tests for scientists, rigged reports & MUCH more.

Seems a good time to invite Sen Britt to watch an NIH review panel (aka study section) analyze piles of grants over several days to identify the <10% that win funding. Applications that scientists spent months preparing, whose peers spent weeks poring through in advance of review mtg at NIH.
