This is what happens when you play political games with science funding. We lose knowledge and talent and research programs in progress. It harms all of us.
Yes. My husband is an NIH-funded scientist studying infectious diseases such as whooping cough, covid, & influenza. The current grant funding his salary runs out of money this summer; a delay in grant reviews means he won’t get a new grant funded before then. He’ll lose his job.

Now that we've discovered the kind of man Trump WANTED to be Attorney General, maybe we had better insist on similarly invasive investigations of his other nominees to make sure they at least ask the age of the high school juniors they pay for sex.

Biden gives life in prison to 37 of 40 federal death row inmates before Trump can resume executions
The move spares the lives of people convicted in killings, including the slayings of police and military officers, people on federal land and those involved in deadly bank robberies or drug deals.

Remember, we heard from multiple GOP House members that Gaetz bragged about a lot of this on the House floor. But they were still fine with him being Trump’s AG pick.
Here it is. Gaetz spent more than $90,000 on 12 different prostitutes, including twice raping one who just completed her junior year of HS and was underage.
Others testified that the rampant use of drugs impaired their ability to consent at his drug laden parties.
