You should be there. As should any leaders who support democracy.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.

Don't give them one.

Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

As a diversity grant dies, young scientists fear it will haunt their careers The Trump administration defunded the National Institute of Health's MOSAIC grant program, which launched the careers of scientists from diverse backgrounds.

Trump’s Cuts to Science Funding Could Hurt U.S. Economy, Study Shows Reducing federal support for research and development could cause long-run economic damage and reduce government revenue.

Sorry to hear. One of the problems is the tools of multimodal analgesia are often not utilized and physicians are so dismissing of pain.

Biotech start-ups struggle as Trump throttles NIH funding Freezes and reductions in National Institutes of Health funding are reverberating beyond universities and research labs to startups in the biotech industry.

"The NIH has sharply curbed grant funding, disrupting small companies and upending a pillar of biomedical innovation."

Thanks to my community for a better day in Wisconsin today.

Big Pharma Needs to Get Off the Sidelines The industry can’t continue to sit idly by while Robert F. Kennedy Jr. guts the nation’s public health agencies.

Noticeably silent amid the upheaval at HHS? Big pharma. Every new drug has NIH somewhere in its DNA--and NIH funding supports the training of their workforce. Now they're finding out FDA isn't safe, either. Wrote about how keeping quiet isn't working My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link):

This is a direct attack on the career prospects of the young adults in our country. These grants are only open to citizens/permanent residents.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

Decades Ago, Columbia Refused to Pay Trump $400 Million. Note That Number. A quarter century ago, the university was looking to expand. It considered, and rejected, property owned by Donald Trump. He did not forget it.

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

In the US we are just defunding all their positions.

“I’m taking DOGE to the next level with DOUCHE,” Musk said.

This guy is cool. He supports all the right causes (children's health, vaccines, etc.) and he loves Legos.
