Cutting cancer research is evil AF, and we should ALL agree on that. If we can't, we're cooked.

Can't lie, it's tough in such a toxic environment. We are terrorized daily by incompetent leaders. Many of us aren't allowed to do our jobs. Standing up to DOGE gets us marched out of the building.
Yet around 75-80% of us remain, and here's why.

Fun fact: Trump is actually spending MORE money than Biden did.
Musk and DOGE are a FRAUD — their real role is shutting down parts of the government that regulate Musk’s businesses while redirecting govt contracts to Musk and other insiders.
