There's widespread confusion and fear among scientists and doctors on the sprawling National Institutes of Health campus and at institutions dependent on the agency's funding.

No need for healthcare Trump, Musk, RFK, eggs, chickens will cure all through evangelical thoughts and prayers. Sad World, as this cluster fuck will cost a lot of lives.
I wort at a major university in San Diego; the impact has been profound. If nothing else it has unleashed mass confusion, instability, stress and anxiety.
We should all be fearful. We are being marched away from science, facts and data into a world where someone like JFK can be in charge of HHS. I’m terrified.
May every Republican that has taken away the funding have a turn with one of the more pleasant sicknesses that they prevent….. anything that happens to those of us who stand for something should happen 10 times as bad for those that don’t
The NIH NHGRI made sure DNA sequencing technology can be made affordable and can be used for genetics-related disease research. I was there when this work is being done.
Then private companies commercialized it for profit 😡
These are the people doing the cutting-edge medical research to cure or prevent dread diseases and other adverse medical conditions. Lives hang in the balance. It’s cruel, inhumane, and irresponsible for Trump and Musk to play politics with the NIH budget.
A normal person would have learned from the pandemic how important the NIH is to the health of Americans but Trump is only interested in retribution not keeping us all safe and aware of scientific information. Shameful!
Good.
So-called experts who use terms such as "chest feeding," "birthing people," and "people with a "cervix" (as though real women don't exist) need to be afraid.
They are obviously already confused.
Except...the word "woman" existing in the title or abstract of a CURRENT NSF grant has been enough cause for the trump admin to pause their funding...not sure if the goal really is to uplift women 🤔🤔🤔
FBI, DEA, ICE agents, all LEOs, US Military - Remember that you each swore an OATH to defend the RULE OF LAW, to UPHOLD the Constitution, and protect US from enemies, foreign and domestic. Uphold your oath, DO NOT OBEY ILLEGAL ORDERS!

Really glad I've switched to @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social Vancouver for actual reporting about the US government.

That's not true of the Biden-Harris administration. Funding went DOWN from 2023 to 2024. 😟

It might be worth it to you and your family.
