My family knows the pain of Alzheimer’s. It’s devastating. And now we learn Trump’s NIH cuts led to the firing of top researchers working on it --Infuriating. This isn’t “cutting waste”—it’s cutting and gutting life-saving research.

Every serious DC political journalist should be at Speaker Johnson’s & Senate Majority Leader Thune’s doors today, with copies of the Constitution, their oaths of office, & Federalist 65, asking them where the articles of impeachment are & why it is taking so long for them to fulfill those oaths.

People who spend their careers writing NIH grants are the literal opposite of grifters. It is a soul-sucking, brutal process. The scientists don’t get rich when they get funded. Their salary doesn’t change. They do it for science. For patients. You know, to make 🇺🇸healthy.

Gutting Medicaid, which many rely on for maternity care and to pay for the NICU (birth weight < 1,200 g), is the most anti fetus, anti-newborn legislation possible.

What do we do next since The Regime is ignoring a judge’s orders to unfreeze NIH funding? “Between February 3, 2024, and February 10, 2024, the NIH issued 513 grant awards totaling $218,273,053. Between February 3 and February 10 this year, the NIH issued just 11 grant awards totaling $4,981,089”.

Cutting funding for cancer research won’t help families, it will hurt them and the progress we’ve made to find lifesaving cures. Make no mistake, slashing this critical funding will mean people won’t get the treatments they need and workers will lose their jobs.

This framing is their framing, and NYT took the bait. The correct and accurate framing is: “Deep cuts to medical research threatens progress on cancer and heart disease research, costs the economy $80B, and threatens 300,000 jobs across red and blue states”

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

The Senate HELP Committee has jurisdiction over NIH. GOP members of the committee represent AK, AL, IN, FL, KS, KY, LA, ME, MO, OH, and SC. Research universities and hospitals in those states need to be extra loud.

NYTimes adding insult to injury in this tragedy. The “treatment” was for autism, which isn’t a thing, and was being done by someone with no medical training who charges cash for expensive bogus therapies. And now a 5-year-old is dead because of the grift.

No one elected Elon Musk. As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences. We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

Great piece, this is what stuck with me: "The care I provided in the delivery room to ensure that this baby survived: 1.94 RVUs (code 99464)... Elsewhere in the hospital, if my physician colleagues perform 30 minutes of hair removal by electrolysis: 264.87 RVUs (code 17380)."

Scientific advancements aside, this is economically irresponsible Every $1 spent by NIH generates $2.46 For example, in 2023, $47B in NIH spending generated ~$93B Halting NIH spending will LOSE the US a lot of money (and talent)
