House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care. They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely. This won’t just harm people. This will kill people. They own this.

Doug Ford says he has big plans to ‘get it done’ in Ontario. His track record in Toronto tells a different story. Ford’s government has never proven to be very adept at day-to-day governing. He has been able to get by without much else. #Opinion

Reminder to everyone getting snow dumped on them - go outside and ensure that your home’s air intakes / exhausts and utility meters are dug out from the snow. Covered intakes and exhausts can make your furnace stop working. And if carbon monoxide builds up in your home, you will also stop working.

The NIH overhead cut doesn't just hurt universities. It's deadly to the US economy. The US is a world leader in tech due to the ecosystem that NIH and NSF propel. It drives innovation for tech transfer, creates a highly-skilled sci/tech workforce, and fosters academic/industry crossfertilization.
