"The NICHD, which receives 4% of the total NIH budget, spent approximately 11% of its budget over the last decade on women’s health research unrelated to maternal-child health." That's <0.5% of the budget for women's health outside of reproduction. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

This is right. We at #NIH would love lawmakers with power to more publicly show their support for us. Hold prime-time hearings with fired employees. Go to hospitals and visit dying cancer patients harmed by the NIH attacks. Bring the Senate to a halt using procedural means. Act!

The NIH reported its FY24 spending on women's health this week using revised methodology. By more transparently reporting the investment the support totals $3.1 billion ($4.6 billion was reported in FY23). This represents a little more than 6% of the total NIH budget. grants.nih.gov/news-events/...

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

Trump NIH director Bhattacharya took to Twitter to spin the Bethesda Declaration. We're here to point out his confusion and contradictions. 🫡 First, it is laughable for him to say he's removing ideology. Trump has inserted a rightwing ideology, stripping Harvard of science for ideological reasons.

We're working to remove ideological influence from science. NIH funding must be based on provable, testable hypotheses, not ideological narratives. Projects that don't meet that bar are discontinued so we can focus on rigorous, impactful research. =

NIH hasn't halted legitimate international collaborations. We're simply ensuring accountability, a basic duty when spending taxpayer dollars wisely. We need to know who's doing the research.

There is a second support letter that the public can sign. You can help advance medical cures in the US, and defend against Trump’s tyrannical attacks on the country, by signing it. Please do. We hope for your support. And please share with your family and friends!

One thing the MAHA report is seriously missing: connection to reality. You can’t tackle chronic illness while gutting the workforce that prevents it. Health departments hollowed out, $11b of directed federal support pulled, 20k jobs at health agencies eliminated. zurl.co/QUnUU

Deep cuts erode the foundations of US public health system, end progress, threaten worse to come
Americans are losing an array of people and programs dedicated to keeping them healthy.

This tracks. “The appointment is significant because the institute has never had a political appointee other than the NCI director.” More and more politicos are being given the keys to drive the narrative at NIH, and now the car is parked in NCI’s driveway. 🤞🏼 Doug Lowy stays in the driver’s seat

NIH is getting rotten to the core. If we have any reporters who follow us, this is our outcry to start looking into: Andrew Nixon, Director of Comms at HHS Laci Williams Deputy Director of Strategic Comms at NIH Thomas Buckley, Director of Strategic Comms at NIH. They’re the “let’s be clear” gang

Looks like the Regime caught wind 🌬️ of our resistance and effort to speak the truth on #Instagram and went to directly to Meta and Zuckerberg to complain 👶🏻😭. A reason was not provided and NCI hit the “appeal” button. Immediately DENIED 🚨‼️ Just like Senator Warren said: “Nevertheless [we] persisted.”

The Trump folks obviously knew and this is, in fact, important for the public to know, given Musk’s deleterious impact on so many. Kudos to @kirstengrind.bsky.social and Megan Twomey for having the guts to report out yet another condition that is in plain sight. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

4/ consequences on his companies. I'd love it if Musk had failed. But he didn't. He achieved a massive amount and he's still the muscle behind DOGE. I think this is all to throw people off Musk's scent.

Thursday, May 29, 2025 was the nail the coffin that brought us here. But let's back track a bit... On May 2, 2025 NCI's Communications Office was illegally terminated by HHS's Reduction in Force (RIF). While the April Fool's Day RIF Massacre was widely reported in the media, this was a quiet bomb
