This isn’t just about NIH grants. It’s about whose health gets studied—and whose gets ignored. Defund research on women and minority communities. Weaken the safety net. Politicize which science gets funded. Different policies. Same consequence: the people who already have the least lose the most.

A normal federal government would have stopped the Paramount merger. It's illegal on its face. It shouldn't have been left to AGs. But this settlement puts us on the path to state run media and mass scale price gouging. It's corporate bullying prevailing over the law.
