The Trump administration’s war on science is slashing funding, shutting down labs, and driving top researchers overseas. The cost? Medical breakthroughs, technological innovation, and America’s future. My latest adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-scienc...

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

60 MINUTES: “Utter nonsense. The most accountable aid agency in the world is USAID… DOGE fired their top 58 officials within an hour of arriving…” This was never about efficiency. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGLXa9r...

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

OMB's Russell Vought wants to slash funding for NIH, which helped develop a "miracle drug" for cystic fibrosis that his daughter received. “We’re extremely grateful to live in a nation that leads the way on medical innovation,” Vought's wife wrote in a 2021 post. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health. I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.” Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity. The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵
