Abbott’s wife is on the board of directors of a new private school in Dripping Springs. The tennis coordinator was sentenced to prison in 2020 as an individual in the college admissions scandal. Abbott pushing vouchers that he admits will defund our public schools is infuriating! #TxLege #DemCast 🧵

This will be catastrophic for progress in treatments.
ALERT–The federal freeze on funds & communication poses a serious threat: "If NIH-funded research grinds to a halt, long-awaited treatments for everything from cancer to diabetes—and whatever infectious disease might spark the next pandemic—could be delayed for years"

Researchers are terrified of Trump’s freeze on science. The rest of us should be, too.
Government support is essential to science. The Trump administration kneecapped it.

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.
Call Congress, 202-224-3121.

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.
No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.
And no indication how long the pause will last.
