This is good stuff. Good message, coming out strong. Now we need action. Grind the Senate to a halt, @padilla.senate.gov, drop the bipartisan front and criticize your Republican colleagues who voted for this; hold high-profile voluntary hearings produced for TV and video.
If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.
We will hold this administration accountable.

This is so senseless
NIH cuts are getting the press, but VA research is getting slashed too. What do we lose when VA research goes away? Here's some greatest hits: The nicotine patch, invention of the cardiac pacemaker, first successful liver transplant, development of the CAT/CT scan

VA Research Funding Slashed
Though not as prominent as the NIH, VA researchers play a major role in advancing basic health science. Hundreds of projects have been cut.

Even if the communications pause was lifted today, federally funded research would be behind two months compared to its normal state.
That's two months of halted progress on life-saving research.
And, as of 3 days ago, NIH disbursement lagged FY24 levels by $1B.

Practical self-defense tip: when folks say "do your own research" about vaccines (for example), what they often mean is "go google studies, conducted using methods you are not trained to rigorously evaluate, that you can then use to reinforce your existing beliefs via a lot of confirmation bias."

I use Epi By Design in my course! I love the book and Daniel’s materials were super helpful. If you want to teach intro epi methods through a causal inference lens but feel daunted by the task of a course re-design, Westreich’s book and materials make it as painless as possible — highly recommend!

Ultimately the Democratic Party gets to decide who its nominee is, for better or worse. But it certainly seems like parts of the media believe they it is their job to choose the Democratic candidate, rather than covering the strengths and weaknesses of *both* candidates running for President.
