I think the reason empires might fall is because there are a lot of people in this country just going to work and doing their thing and that’s just letting it happen.

We must mobilize. All of us.

Thanks to whomever made this. Sums up the absurdity of this administration perfectly.

Please everyone, contact your Senators and ask them to support the “Coons-Alsobrooks amendment to fully restore the 57% funding cut to the CDMRP.

This is the defense-funded, cutting edge medical research that is critical to finding treatments for hundreds of afflictions.

I’m here for questions.

Although it seems ironic to be an advocate for research funding and health policy when there’s no research funding or health policy, our jobs just became more important than ever.

Every House and Senate Democrat needs to take a good long look at Cory Booker’s actions these past two days.

Today, US Senator Jim Banks (R) was approached by a fired HHS employee. He told the employee that he “probably deserved to be fired” and that the employee “looks like a clown”. This is what the entire Republican party thinks of HHS workers. Video in article. www.nbcnews.com/video/fmr-hh...

After 24 hours on his feet, Cory Booker is defending the scientific research establishment of this country - calling out an experience like the one that drives me and SO MANY of my fellow scientists to do the work we do - that maybe we can do for others what we couldn't for our own loved ones.

This Thursday (4/3), I’ll be in Washington DC presenting at a congressional briefing in support of the restoration and protection of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP), which the recent Continuing Resolution cut by 57%.

We need to remember the free world hates us now, including Greenland.
U.S. officials went door-to-door in Greenland to find anyone who wanted to be visited by the Vances. They found no one
A local travel company in Greenland’s capital also cancelled a planned visit by Usha Vance
