Ah yes - that crucial issue that Americans clamored for in the 2024 election: please cut Alzheimer's research! ...(checks notes) Wait...that doesn't sound right...that can't be right...
After cutting social security, we can’t imagine a more direct attack on senior citizens than this. Dementia is one of the biggest health challenges facing seniors (and their families) today.
RFK Jr is cutting Alzheimer's research to the tune of $3.9 billion.
I can't state this more clearly. The fraction of the American population that is elderly and susceptible to dementia is large and growing fast. This is a critical population health crisis. It needs more attention, not less.

"It would be easier to count grains of sand on a beach than to keep track of the lies emanating from this administration, but manipulating official government studies and statistics is a step beyond anything we’ve seen and a profound threat."

Choking up on national TV as you lament your falling stock price is weak shit, writes @timothypmurphy.bsky.social. And it gets to the core of how Musk operates.
Far from a projection of strength, Musk's boastful threats show a thin-skinned man who behaves erratically in the face of adversity.

Elon Musk can’t take the heat
The numbers say anti-Tesla protests are working. So do Musk's increasingly unhinged actions.
