The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research! That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

Trump has made tens of billions of dollars from a fake social media company that has no revenue and a meme coin that is literally nothing, like actual nothing, like it has no use at all and doesn't actually exist on Earth in any way, and I think that's great!

Giant screen; small, darkened seminar room...it would leave us all speechless. Including me—every time I saw it. Hope you feel as I did.
