The NIH Director confirms they are giving away biomedical research money used to develop treatments and cures for infectious diseases such as influenza, malaria, tuberculosis, HIV, Ebola, and other dangerous pathogens, to the Department of Defense. Outrageous.

NIH funds should be used to improve the health of Americans.
Far from siphoning money away from research, this partnership between @NIH and @DeptofWar focuses on research projects that will drive discoveries to improve the health of American citizens and members of the military.
Led by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, all work will be 100% aligned with our public health mission.

42 Democrats just joined 192 Republicans to reauthorize FISA Section 702 – a warrantless surveillance law that's been used to access Americans' data. Democratic leadership did not whip their members, enabling them to vote with Republicans and give Trump the surveillance powers.

We’re worse off than we were under Obama’s deal. Period. Trump blew up the 2015 agreement in 2018, and everything went backward. Under that deal, Iran’s enrichment was capped at 3.67%. Since it was canceled the deal, estimates are that Iran got it up to 60%. Just a step away from weapons-grade.

(around photos of Jeff Bezos and an Amazon employee) Jeff Bezos made $90 billion in profit... because of their hard work.

Amazon's profits went UP 45%, but its taxes went DOWN 87%.

Thanks to Trump's "Big Ugly Bill," Amazon paid just $1.2 billion in taxes (down from $9 billion last year).

Hardworking Americans are struggling, while Republicans hand massive tax breaks to the Epstein class.

Trump is using war not only as a pretext to declare a national emergency that could help him seize control of the midterms, but also to change the conversation away from Epstein and that the Justice Dept. withheld documents related to the testimony of a minor who accused him of sexual assault.
