I hear there are stories coming, but putting the brakes on our country’s world-leading medical research system feels like a five alarm fire and I don’t see a newspaper that even has it on the front page yet
Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.
The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!
That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

I use dark humor but think an elected U.S. official talking about using the power of the state to attack a religious official for what they preach is unacceptable, even ask a “joke.”
Or, if it’s okay, then PURELY in that spirit of fun: Mike Collins would look spectacular lying in state.

Lmao at all the lefties who refused to vote for Harris over Palestine
REPORTER: How confident are you that you can keep the ceasefire in Gaza?
TRUMP: I'm not confident. That's not our war. It's their war ... Gaza is interesting. It's a phenomenal location.
