cc: @Gavin Newsome It’s time to build a CDC & NIH in California with the folks who were fired from the feds. In fact, I think each blue state governor needs to scoop up these scientists, healthcare workers and laboratory workers asap. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is popular, even within Trump's own party.
Our polling found that 75% of voters approve of the CFPB after hearing about its actions on banking and medical debt.

So the ultra rich can get tax breaks?
This is dangerously irresponsible on every level. Indiscriminately slashing this funding will cripple lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction.
NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately
