The U.S. is cutting research funding, the weather service, park rangers, Social Security Admin staff, lifesaving foreign aid, plus billions in Medicaid and food stamps. For what? To potentially buy crypto with taxpayer dollars and to give more tax cuts to the rich.

Dear Donald Trump: 1) "Asylum seekers" are NOT immigrants who escaped insane asylums. They are refugees escaping oppression 2) "Transgenic" does NOT mean "transgender." It means an organism or cell that has been genetically altered Maybe try googling next time k bye, America

These are not "unconventional treatments." They're not treatments at all. CNN itself is the one driving the misinformation here.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

At a time when the Social Security Administration is grossly understaffed, Trump plans to lay off up to 50% of its employees. Outrageous. This will make it HARDER for Americans to get the services they need. This is clearly a step toward the privatization of Social Security.

It feels like 2019 again, but it’s 2025. Measles burns like a wildfire, Bird Flu gathers like storm clouds, COVID-19 lingers like a shadow, and Tuberculosis smolders beneath the surface while a mysterious illness in Congo signals the next alarm. Yet, governments remain frozen. The cycle repeats.

The leadership and staff at the NIH institute who processed 100 grants in an afternoon are heroes. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
By this point, NIH lawyers were grim in their prognosis. If the agency moved forward with slashing indirect cost rates, they explained, individual staff members could be prosecuted for failing to comply with a congressional directive. On February 10, Sean R. Keveney, HHS’s acting general counsel, sent a memo to Flick Melanson that included a directive in bold, italicized font: All payments that are due under existing grants and contracts should be un-paused immediately.

Two days later, Lauer, the extramural-research director, issued a memo authorizing his colleagues to resume issuing awards—what should have been the agency’s final all-clear to return to normalcy.

Even then, the staff remained divided on how to proceed. Some institutes immediately began sending out awards: Lauer’s email spurred one institute, a current official told me, to process 100 grants in a single afternoon.

BREAKING -- Fed forecasts possible RECESSION US GDP now forecast to go DOWN by 1.5% in Q1 2025. If we have 2 negative quarters in a row, that's an official recession. Why? Exports are down - and so is consumer spending. BOTH due to worries over Trump's TARIFFS and HIGH COSTS.

"It's
like trying to grab all the fallout from a bomb that's been dropped on our public health infrastructure, and it's being done willy-nilly, so we can't even predict what the outcome would be yet."
