Caption: Mike was an outlier and would probably be excluded from the study, but all the other data points secretly thought he was really cool.

We already have special research funds for diseases that impact our military. Hegseth has requested a $1.5 TRILLION budget. Still, the DOD is diverting funds for medical research at NIH. Stopping lifesaving treatments & cures to help wage foreign wars. This must end.

“These funds were provided for lifesaving medical research, not as extra money for the Department of Defense,” said Rep. Rosa DeLauro.

I’m not trying to be political at all. But if people at your work are debating whether you are actually, literally, dead, like totally an unalive corpse being eaten from inside and outside by your own bacterial and fungal flora, maybe you are bad enough at your job that you should be replaced.
