NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it.
A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.

‼️Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander (NOT Musk) may have found actual fraud. The federal judge stops Musk's team from 'unbridled access' to MILLIONS of American’s Social Security private data! www.reuters.com/legal/us-jud...
A federal judge said on Thursday the Social Security Administration likely violated privacy laws by giving tech billionaire Elon Musk's aides "unbridled access" to the data of millions of Americans, and ordered a halt to further record sharing.
U.S. District Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander of Maryland said Musk's Department of Government Efficiency was intruding into "the personal affairs of millions of Americans" as part of its hunt for fraud and waste under President Donald Trump.
