People need to understand that we are in an entirely new paradigm. It is now Russia the US against Ukraine and Europe. This is not a shift in US policy, it is a transformation of what kind of country the United States is in the world

Here it is—I knew Elon Musk would eventually target Social Security and Medicare. He dismissively labels them as “federal entitlement programs,” ignoring the fact that this is our money, paid into over the course of our lifetimes. www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-ma...

About the NIH ruling.
This judge learns fast.
This judge learns fast.
The judge has asked the 22 states to file a report in 24 hours, and then every two weeks, confirming they are getting their money. Which sure feels like a rebuke to/test of the admin defying other funding court orders.

NP here. I practice in WI. Medicaid is currently denying all claims for E/M services at our clinic. First time this has occurred in my 6 years at this practice. Can’t say it’s directly related, and we are investigating, but sus for sure.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Every State is going to be greatly impacted by Trump's #NIH shutdown.

Remember how hard it was to study gun violence due to the Dickey Amendment? Now add in pandemic response, reproductive health, LGBT health, vaccines, and a host of other topics which MAGA wants to ignore in their culture war. #NIH #Research
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
