As the son of a lifelong CBS executive who worked on so many great CBS News broadcasts, thank you very much Sarah Safer for speaking out about this horror.

Three cheers for @repgreglandsman.bsky.social for co-sponsoring HR 6130, the ASAP Act, to provide Medicare coverage for the blood tests to screen people for Alzheimer's. I have campaigned for Greg since early in his 2022 campaign, & he continues to make me proud. #endalz

The President's budget proposes to cut Alzheimer's research by over $300 million. Absolutely unacceptable, and every Member of Congress on both sides of the aisle should speak out against this outrageous proposal. #endalz

Truly a disaster. The World News Roundup, the flagship CBS News radio broadcast, started in 1938. Survived through so much, but could not survive Bari Weiss.

Son of a lifelong CBS exec here. My dad kept a picture of Murrow in his office & worked on Cronkite's team for years. He & his colleagues excelled by getting the news on the air first & getting it right. Laying off employees, keeping stories off the air & cheering a fascist President is not OK.

Great meeting w/@repaprildelaney.bsky.social to discuss Alzheimer's-- bills to require Medicare to cover Alzheimer's blood tests (H.R. 6130), to educate clinicians on Alzheimer's (H.R. 3747), & for a tax credit for caregivers (H.R. 2036). Looking forward to working w/her on these bills. #endalz

Crucial Alzheimer's research from @washumedadrc.bsky.social. I'm so proud that @alzassociation.bsky.social was a funder for this research. One of the most vexing questions about Alzheimer's is its progression. Predicting the progression goes hand-in-hand w/the timing of treatments. #endalz

Advocacy always feels good. Today, I testified yet again to the DC Council Health Committee, this time pushing for a law to require DC clinicians to get training on the new developments re Alzheimer's. So necessary to get early detection, so DC residents can get treatments. More to come. #endalz

Very disturbing that the NIH Director is making false statements to the Senate & will not simply rule out terminating clinical trials in the future. Come on.

Dean Brenner @deanrbrenner.bsky.social · 28/01/2026
Outrageous that the NIH Director is turning our nation's medical research agency into an arm of the ultra right wing political movement. The Alzheimer's community counts on NIH to lead the world in finding a cure, but his stated goal is to drive ultra right wing science denial. So bad. #endalz

Pure corruption at its worst. The nursing home staffing rule would have saved an estimated 13,000 lives per year & improved care for so many more, including many w/Alzheimer's or other dementia. Bribing Trump to repeal this rule- horrible. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

It's hard to fathom all the outrages we are living through, but the one below stands out- so far, 1.5 million people have lost their health insurance due to Trump's initiative to destroy the ACA. And, that number is going to grow once people have to start making payments at the exorbitant prices.

So proud of @kim.senate.gov for speaking out about Alzheimer's and caregiving. Exactly, it shouldn't be this hard. When my wife & I were knocking on doors for Andy in NJ in November 2018, we knew he was special. Thank you so much @kim.senate.gov. You are one of us. #endalz

These are disqualifying comments from the NJ GOP candidate for Governor. The Gateway Tunnel is immensely important to NJ, and Trump's actions to stop its funding are unlawful, outrageous, and do terrible damage to NJ.

His comments about Alzheimer's are absolutely incorrect. NIH has not solely focused on the amyloid hypothesis, and the two drugs that remove amyloid plaque are working. He should stop repeating this misinformation.
