The Alzheimer's community needs to push back against the destruction of NIH Alzheimer's research. What else can we do? That's why I'm testifying today at a DC Council hearing. Working with DC Health & the DC Council, we can keep the momentum in increasing public awareness & supports. #endalz

Vitally important that Republicans who support NIH Alzheimer’s research reverse this immediately. Susan Collins, Tom Cole, Shelley Moore Capito, especially.

Yes, a ridiculous farce that will set back crucial medical research for no reason whatsoever. Horrible. #endalz

Taking down the CDC webpage with information on warning signs for Alzheimer's is absolutely unacceptable and senseless. #endalz Thousands of U.S. Government Web Pages Have Been Taken Down Since Friday www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

Absolutely unacceptable for the Alzheimer's community, which depends on NIH funding for almost every significant research project. #endalz

Great to see this important work below on early diagnosis of Alzheimer's in Pittsburgh's African American community, funded by the BOLD Act. Thank you to Congressman Chris Deluzio for his great support & my fellow Alzheimer's advocates. #endalz www.health.pitt.edu/news/encoura...

Big news for DC residents living w/Alzheimer's. @dchealth.bsky.social posted required online trainings for all staff at DC nursing homes, assisted living, & home health on how to care for people w/Alzheimer's. Implements a law passed by DC Council in 2020. #endalz learning.brainhealth.dc.gov

Great to see NIH funding this important long-term trial to see if we can prevent Alzheimer's in people w/ a genetic predisposition. Congress needs to fully fund NIH Alzheimer's research funding every year & reject attacks on NIH & their scientists. #endalz www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

Absolutely, cuts to Medicaid will be horrible for people living w/Alzheimer's - not just for those in facilities. Home & community-based services within Medicaid are vital for so many people w/Alzheimer's & disabilities & need expansion, not cuts. #endalz
