The N.I.H. will cut about $4 Billion from federal research grants that support cancer, virus and heart disease research.
This is a direct attack on science, and America's leadership in medical innovation.
This is the kind of "winning" they want? Seriously?

Democrats should be doing everything within their purview to stop Trump. Is that happening? Well, Congress adjourned early last week so they could have a nice weekend. So the answer is clear.

Democrats continue to grant unanimous consent, they continue to vote for cloture, and some of them still are voting for his nominees. So no, they’re not doing all they can. Not even remotely. And they need to be called out for it.
