Scientific progress depends on exchanging ideas with other experts and getting feedback from them. Academic freedom is necessary to enable that progress. Restricting how scientists can interact with other scientists impedes scientific progress — and development of future cures.

This isn't the first time we're seeing Trump's authoritarianism on display, but this is arguably the most blatant example of it.
Free speech and democracy are in peril in Trump's America, and we all must stand up to it.

How does having trained staff at places like DHS, DOEd, DHHS, & DOC protect Americans?
Without them, we couldn't fight child abuse, prosecute CSAM traffickers, & prevent early deaths.
Your federal government is a cooperative of highly skilled, dedicated citizens who work to protect kids everyday.

NEW: Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Important article. This center was taking new approaches to studying Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
Everyone who knows someone with dementia is being hurt by Trump’s cuts to medical research. 🧪

Scoop --> Trump-Musk cuts just resulted in the firing of numerous top researchers at NIH's center for combating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They predict big setbacks to fighting dementias.
This cause was once championed by *Republicans.*

Oops: Trump-Musk Cuts Just Wrecked an NIH Org Championed by GOPers
Republicans once lavished praise on an NIH center that deals with Alzheimer’s. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are hobbling it. What will they say now?

Remember, the depravity is meant to distract us from the ransacking of our government. They won’t erase us. They won’t distract us.

HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine “Wild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.

Trump Killed a Major Report on Nature. They’re Trying to Publish It Anyway.
The first full draft of the assessment, on the state of America’s land, water and wildlife, was weeks from completion. The project leader called the study “too important to die.”
