The Republicans will hold SNAP as a hostage against the Democrats.
They have work requirements already (and that applies to 16 -59 yrs okd). Now, they are doing withholding SNAP to make people hungry while healthcare costs could skyrocket!

I see Bill Cassidy M.D. from Louisiana (LA) there, too.
From @aaas.org check-in with Sudip Parikh: a letter by 14 Republican senators urge the Office of Management and Budget to release NIH funding. If this includes your state (AL, ME, WV, SC, KY, KS, AR, PA, NC, IN, AK), Sudip recommends contacting & thanking them for being American science leaders.

We are all going to feel the effects of public aid funding cuts. ALL OF US. If you think ER waits are long now, you have not seen anything yet!
“I went into frontline medicine to help people, not to bankrupt them,” writes Sophia Spadafore. “When someone who does not have insurance comes into the ER, I am forced to discuss with the patient what necessary care they may have to delay or forgo”:
How Medicaid Cuts Will Bleed Emergency Medicine
Many Americans get much of their health care from ERs. Defunding this service will be a financial and human disaster for everyone.

Hey scientific journals 👋 Would you consider waiving publication fees for work partially funded by NIH awards that have since been terminated?

A bunch of young lawyers worked together to make information available about which law firms showed good values. It had an impact. Good for them.
ICYMI: Georgetown Law students made a 853-row spreadsheet of Trump-caving firms. It drew national headlines. Recruiters noticed some talent looked elsewhere. Firms lobbied to change their designation.

Hi, sending people to El Salvador, if they're not from El Salvador, is not deportation. It's human trafficking, and this entire regime is complicit in crimes against humanity.
I hope I live long enough to see them all stand trial with the whole world arrayed against them.

NIH funds 30,000 employees in DC and 300,000+ people are funded in all 50 states.
No NIH $ kills hospitals
No Medicaid kills hospitals
No job = no insurance, no Medicaid safety net
Lots of death and despair

Every democrat rep/senator should go to a place where one of Trump's sycophants is too scared to go. Answer their questions honestly and tell them what you intend to do to fight against the insanity.

Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance.
Democracy requires your courage.
So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.
