CDC: ~2400 RIF notices will start to be sent out tomorrow afternoon, likely directly from HHS. CDC leadership may or may not be notified ahead of time re who is being terminated. It is unclear if the entire center for injury prevention will be cut or if parts will remain at CDC or move to AHA.

“It’s something that’s so hard to imagine happening, but it’s very real. We would probably have to shut down the study,” one NIH-funded harm reduction researcher tells Alexander Lekhtman of the prospective cuts, which are currently held up in court:
"It's Very Real"—Harm Reduction Research Facing DOGE Funding Cuts
The planned cuts—currently held up in the courts—would jeopardize research, including that related to harm reduction and the overdose crisis.

Another word for "regulation" is...
"consumer protection"
"environmental protection"
"Regulation" means your milk is safe. "Regulation" means toys that harm your babies are removed from the shelves. "Regulation" means chemical companies can't dump waste in your river.

my kingdom for an elected official who will stand up and defend the fact that the government employs people to test wastewater and send old people money and keep an eye on the bears in the park and make sue the people that scammed you

If Elon Musk’s substance use bothers you nearly as much as the fact that he’s a literal Nazi and low-quality crook then you might actually just suck

This is dangerously irresponsible on every level. Indiscriminately slashing this funding will cripple lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction.
NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately
The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.
