Medicaid expansion covers individuals who make < ~$20K a year and many parents, people with disabilities, and low-paid workers who would be uninsured without it. Taking away people's health care makes them vulnerable, even if you don't think they are now.

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

“It’s extremely alarming that grants that have been vetted by the scientific community and deemed important and impactful to understand the world are now being cancelled because of political ideology,” says @lkfazio.bsky.social.

“This is direct censorship of scientific research.”

President Zelenskyy showed more backbone and self-respect in one Oval Office meeting than the entire GOP has collectively demonstrated over the last 9 years.
He is standing up for his people while Trump mows through ours.

ATTENTION FEDS Judge Chutkin won't block Musk's federal worker firings because "'possibility' that defendants may take actions that irreparably harm plaintiffs is not enough" Attorneys are asking us for evidence of harm. If you have evidence contact the tipline asap. We'll provide an email address

That means- if you’re in a position to follow orders from Trump and Musk: DELAY.

Work exactly 40 hours per week. Ask many questions. Slow down any bad rules. Don’t take bad actions. Focus on making grants happen.
Please do this.

Fwiw I have heard that NIH funding is still paused in spite of court orders, at least to some extent. People seem confused, which seems like the point.

Kill. Me. Now.

A point to consider.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.

The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds.

This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

The usual dance of “moderate” Republicans complaining about everything they just voted for when it affects them. Rinse, repeat.

Yes, and this is super-important.

People don’t know what’s happening. Most of the country has no idea that American science — cancer cures — are being shredded. They really don’t know!

The job of all scientists 🧪 in this moment should be to get the word out.
