Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 16/05/2025
Donald Trump cut funding for cancer research by 31% in the first three months of his term. This is an attack on every American family who has loved someone with cancer.

Federal funding for medical research is vital. Please read the story about the baby's life who was saved by decades of investment across the public and private sector. We need to make sure we don't stifle medical research in this country.

A decades-long effort at Cornell University to build a medical device to save the lives of babies with heart conditions was thrown on the trash heap by the Trump regime. There's a death toll attached to the recklessness of Trump and Musk.

The administration pulled funding for research on devices for babies with heart conditions.

"Why SHOULDN'T government be run like a business?" Because the goals are diametrically opposed and mutually exclusive. Businesses exist to make money. Governments exist to make people's lives better. You ask if the fire dept is successful at putting out fires and saving people, not the $ it makes

Nothing tells its own story! Voters won't know what's happening, why it's bad, and who's responsible unless SOMEONE TELLS THEM, and that someone isn't going to be our supine media, so it's got to be Dems. No political strategy is self-executing. You have to act.

It's really disappointing to see that the ideological purity police have descended on Bluesky as well. Folks, you need to learn to not attack people who are on your side, even if they don't agree with you 100%. The other side manages to have a big tent somehow, we should give it a try.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.
@elonmusk: Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week.
Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.

And the more people that leave Twitter for good the faster it becomes increasingly irrelevant meaning it’s ability to legitimize false realities is degraded. It can only serve that role so long if it keeps declining (which is all the more reason to help it’s downfall along)
