GOP is SELLING its SOUL for TAX CUTS for BILLIONAIRES. Exhibit A: GOP Rep. Miller-Meeks Voted for the Largest Cuts to Medicaid. 67,000 folks in her district are going to lose healthcare. 4 HOSPITALS in her district will close. The GOP Rep is also a DOCTOR! Does NOT care about the American people.

American companies paid $17B in Tariffs in April.

That dwarfs any haul from Trumps his first term. It’s only a matter of time before these tariff fees get passed along to consumers. The Trump Admin states the we are in a TRANSITION STAGE into higher tariffs. Probably generating supply shortages.

Cuts to NIH could impact health in the U.S. for generations!

A Trump admin plan to cut NIH budget by more than 40% was leaked to the press. The preliminary budget sent shockwaves through the nation's health agency but also, the wider scientific community that relies on the NIH to fund research.

What madness, I've lived in this country for 6 decades , to now see the repeating of history, where the Right-Wing Racist, Fascist and Zionist are practicing atrocities on the good people of this country. This country used to be a inclusive, accepting, charitable and moral country -Not anymore.

Trump meme coin offers ‘private dinner’ for top investors! This is simply a money grab. I hope the Democrats impeach Trump for profiting from his office.

TRUMP meme coin holders may be eligible for a dinner with the president has sparked a heated debate about the ethics of this marketing campaign.

I love his latest album. I have it on a loop while writing a grant application on the intersection of immunology and heart disease. Homage to my ancestors!

Trump says it sent away 4 noncitizens despite court order!

The Trump admin is acknowledging it deported four noncitizens to El Salvador despite a court order barring the removal of people to countries other than their place of origin without an opportunity to raise concerns about their safety.

Trump Full Blown Fascism!
Congress and SCOTUS are both in denial.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s wants to send Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

Call it what it is fascism!

Hitler systematically sought to alter university personnel, curriculum, teaching, and policies in Germany after coming to power in 1933. This process, known as "Nazification" (Gleichschaltung), aimed to align higher education with Nazi ideology and goals.
And in 2025 we have Trumpification

I’m working on a NIH grant submission for June 5th. The topic is on immune checkpoint proteins (target for cancer) and HDL cholesterol. I won’t know how it will fare until the fall. I’ll keep you posted on its fate.
