It me.

It's me, Ginger!

So what's happening with medical research in the US? This is the cumulative award count from the NIH for the year.

Doesn't look so good.

But it gets worse.

@IAmPoliticsGirl I appreciate that you said "if we lost..." Because maybe we didn't.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

Guess what...?

The Dems worked all night to show us what the Republican’s priorities REALLY are. They don’t have the votes to stop them, but they’re taking the opportunity to show us what they’re doing so we can.

[It me. @YesItsMeGinger]

@IAmPoliticsGirl I love your Republican voice impersonation. 🤣 This is literally what I heard coming out of Lindsey Graham's mouth after the vote yesterday for Kash Patel when he was going on and on about how great/safe the USA would be if we would just give the military billions of 💸. 👹

We’re not safe in Trump’s America.

[Marc Johnson @SolidEvidence]

This is unbelievable.

H5N1 is banging at the door and we're firing the 'disease detectives'?

Funny thing about pathogens, they will kill you even if you don't know they are there.

Sometimes it's a good idea to think about your actions BEFORE you take them.

Kendrick Lamar showed more courage in the face of rising American tyranny than we’ve seen from ANY former American leader. If you swore an oath to protect this nation, where are you now?

[Marc Johnson @SolidEvidence]

I didn't know this. After Trump tried to cut NIH indirects in his first term congress added this appropriations rider to the budget to stop anyone from trying again. The rider remains in effect today.

I'm not a lawyer, but this seems to be a pretty open and shut case.

As @NoLieWithBTC says so well, “The abuse is coming from inside the house.”

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

Can you imagine if you wasted money like this?

[F. Perry Wilson, MD MSCE @fperrywilson]

Yes, the US government has been subsidizing science. That is not a weakness of our system. It is one of our greatest strengths. Turning our back on NIH and the institutions who do science for the sake of science, not profit, debases us all.

[Jonathan Kagan @jkagan1]

This is a list of blockbuster drugs in 2024. Guess how many can trace their origins to NIH funded research?
All of them.

America is under attack.

It doesn’t matter who he blames, do you feel safe getting on a plane right now?

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

The administration has lived in the FoxNews bubble for so long they’ve forgotten that just saying something doesn’t make it true…

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

RFK Jr’s former running mate Nicole Shanahan says she is done playing nice and threatens to finance primary challengers against any Republican or Democratic senator who votes against him.

Man, rich people just think they own us. Congress, you have actual power. Show this woman that her money doesn't make your decisions.
