"Waste" is when people get Medicaid.

"Efficiency" is when you let 60,000 tons of food that's already been paid for rot instead of feeding someone with it.
"Internal proposals to release the food remain on hold, awaiting sign-off from the Office of Foreign Assistance, now headed by 28-year-old Elon Musk appointee, Jeremy Lewin."

Call your representatives.

Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.
The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!

That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

For the sake of the people of Gaza, hoping this means the killing stops. I don't trust Israel to respect any deal. But it has to stop.
