THIS is the kind of reporting we need all day every day.

St Jude is in Memphis, isn't it? They'd let those little kids just die? What kind of congressmen have yall elected there?

giantducks.bsky.social•5 days ago

Spineless at every level of government.

bluebirdofunhap.bsky.social•4 days ago

Cowards, every single one.

jmchugh40.bsky.social•5 days ago

Curious too WHERE they think life saving research will occur if not at higher ed or gov research labs. Magic? For profit companies that require outsize profit margins to research anything? Where?

tenej-jen.bsky.social•5 days ago

Overseas.

True. MEGA: Make Everyoneelse Great Again

Cameras in their faces from the local news channels may be the only thing that gets the Republican members of Congress to grow a spine.

They support whatever Donald Trump says they support.

Thank you for shining the light on the silence. 🙏

I am not going to Tennessee anymore for vacation.
Their Republican politicians are on board with Trumps pro-Russian agenda. Of the destruction of democracy.
I am sure it is in the name of white Christian Nationalism or as the rest of the world calls it. A group of white supremists.

Push them for an answer. Don’t let them deflect.

emilysenefeld.bsky.social•5 days ago

thanks phil! lots of vandy employees in Ogles district, I'm related to one!

emdenton.bsky.social•5 days ago

Their daddy hasn’t told them how to answer yet.

marymng.bsky.social•5 days ago

How the hell can anyone in their right mind support it, ffs?!

tenej-jen.bsky.social•5 days ago

Research will have to move overseas, a reverse brain-drain damaging our country further.

Trump’s got their tongue.

Cowards.

rogerjharris.bsky.social•5 days ago

Of course they fucking won't because Trumpusk's stupidity shows Trumpistas how cruel and immoral they are.

olive187.bsky.social•5 days ago

“Won’t say” is code for Yes.

antifagurl.bsky.social•4 days ago

“Land of the free” and your reps can’t even stand up for life saving medical research. You’re PATHETIC

Cowards. Say how proud you are to support the deaths of Americans to please the orange menace.

jenboyer.bsky.social•5 days ago

NC senators @thomtillis.bsky.social and Ted Budd won't say either but I bet we know the answer!

ducklady.bsky.social•4 days ago

Their silence speaks for itself. Cowards and rotten people.

ladybugblues.bsky.social•5 days ago

People need to be charged for murders of those who can’t get medical care. Thanks to the Republican terrorists.

kraniumkracka.bsky.social•5 days ago

Get em Phil.

beckityboo.bsky.social•5 days ago

Thank you for asking them direct questions Phil!

Spineless liars.

Scott DesJarlais is a physician by training. He may have only gotten into the field to have sex with patients, coworkers, and pharma company representatives, but still, he's a physician.

Their silence affirms the question.

If reporters want to act dumb, we should believe they are not acting.

We are adults with reasoning skills. We all see what is happening.

They need us for their paycheck. #wethepeople do not need to pay them for being lazy.

maggyw.bsky.social•5 days ago

Certainly Vanderbilt has NIH funded research going on.

ohnevermindca.bsky.social•5 days ago

Considering how long TN has benefited from federal largesse (who can ever forget TVA and Oak Ridge), we should just designate it as a dependent territory and eliminate its representation in Congress.

celestialclockwork.bsky.social•4 days ago

Profiles in cowardice (shaking head in disgust)

uslordmarshal.bsky.social•4 days ago

What are they afraid of?

goldfish0826.bsky.social•5 days ago

Do they think the Republicans don't get cancer!!!!!

genxjase.bsky.social•5 days ago

Cowards.

aramintas-legacy.bsky.social•5 days ago

Answer: too scared to care.

parlyn.bsky.social•4 days ago

How much $ does TN receive for conducting medical research? When the $ goes away, so do jobs. When jobs go away, it’s a slippery slope to mortgage defaults, needing food assistance and more. You can’t afford this.

treblaw.bsky.social•5 days ago

Pisslord cowards

mmdoza.bsky.social•4 days ago

They are cutting their own noses off and they love it! Idiots!

stand7.bsky.social•5 days ago

No answer is their answer. They stand with Trump and anything he wants

smitha877.bsky.social•5 days ago

The lack of clear positions from many Tennessee representatives leaves constituents uncertain about their lawmakers' support for sustaining vital medical research funding in the state.
