Support for the #NIH was less than 1% of the federal budget in 2024. For every $100 million in NIH funding, researchers generate 76 patents, which in turn spur another $598 million in further research and

This may be Trump’s worst (and most dangerous) power grab yet.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

Medical toxicologist here to confirm: all available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines.
Mortality rates:
Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000
Penicillin 2/100K
Viagra 4/100K
Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)

FYI
Viagra has more serious side effects than Mifepristone
Mifepristone has a lower risk of side effects than penicillin
So why is it such a big deal to these GOP boys anyway?

Under Biden/Harris, Colombia accepted more than 400 deportation flights, 120 just in 2024 alone. These were normal commercial planes. 1/

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time.
To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.

A week ago I was being told to apologize for saying Trump would be worse for Gaza because he faked a temporary pause/pretend ceasefire to coincide with his inauguration.
Now he’s just openly endorsing/encouraging ethnic cleansing.

On Air Force One from Las Vegas to Miami, President Trump says Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated.
