This is more than a "cap" on the National Institutes of Health. This is an attack on future research for cancer and heart disease. This is an attack on vaccine development. This is an attack on medical experts, scientists, students, and teachers. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Either Donald Trump doesn’t understand how our government works, or he’s intent on causing chaos. Gutting the Department of Education is irresponsible, misguided, and it would have devastating effects.
