If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I shouldn't be surprised by the absolute incompetence of this administration, but I am.
This is disastrous for public health and healthcare in America.

Exactly. If anything goes wrong, he's going to blame it on DEI.
TRANSLATION: If this accident was caused by a straight white man, it won’t fit my “illegal DEI” narrative, so I have to get ahead of this with a bunch of nonsense because I know reporters will report what I say on loop, and everyone will believe me.

Glad to see @markwarner.bsky.social bringing up community health centers in the HHS Secretary hearing.
RFK Jr is profoundly unqualified and, frankly, dangerous to the health of our nation.

Stop with the weak language. This WILL get people killed.
Trump just ripped away Medicaid from millions of Americans. This could get people killed.

At least @wyden.senate.gov posted something about the federal funding freeze. @jeff-merkley.bsky.social hasn't posted anything.
We need outspoken leadership who will not only take action themselves but provide actionable guidance to their constituents and others. Thoughts and prayers is not enough

Absolutely. Now is not the time for this weak language and inaction.

One of my patient’s MS medications had a $500 copay last month. This month, the copay is $6,000. This medication is life-sustaining. My patient will DIE without it, a slow AGONIZING drawn out unnecessary death.
Tell me again how he’s making America “great” again.

I just submitted my practicum project proposal to my preceptor. She knows the quality of my work at my job but this is the first time she's reviewed anything academic from me.
I'm nervous. 😬

Great idea. I'm sure the red states along the Gulf of Mexico that regularly get hit by hurricanes will love this idea since they voted for this fool.
Trump: "I'll be signing an EO to begin process of fundamentally reforming & overhauling or maybe getting rid of FEMA. I think, frankly, FEMA is not good. When you have a problem like this, you want to use your state to fix it & not waste time calling FEMA..I think we're gonna recommend FEMA go away"

At this point AOC @aoc.bsky.social is General Charles de Gaulle. She needs to start organizing her government in exile instead of bothering to try to work with the nazi collaborators.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
