GOP Budget adds $ trillions in debt & cuts Medicare/aid

“Trump says Pentagon spending should be halved…”

But:

“Defense Department to redirect funds internally…”

So:

NO PENTAGON CUTS

“Trump's net approval rating down 13 points”

VA researchers produce more research publications per $ than their university peers. Already very efficient! 🧐 #DOGEBAGS keep your mitts off!!! 🤬

In terms even MAGA understands, chemo is given on a schedule because tons of data shows this works best. Suspending clinical trials imposes delay whilst patients and docs. scramble to organize off protocol treatment. Delay increases risk of tx. failure & death. What are we doing here and why?
