It's sick and wrong to terminate funding for childhood cancer. Everyone should know and understand that the Trump administration CHOSE to do this. I'll keep doing everything I can in the meantime to protect and fund this cancer research and lifesaving clinical trials.

I doubt that there is a single family in America that hasn’t benefitted directly from the NIH.

This is a nuanced perspective on the relationship between NWS cuts and the disaster in Texas: NWS got the forecasts right, but lacked staff who could preplan with and warn local officials of the dangers. P

Also shout out to the telehealth doctor who recommended cinnamon candies and gum for that Paxlovid taste. It's really helping cover up that bitter metallic taste. 😅

Please stop saying ICE agents are “wearing masks” They’re wearing face coverings. Gaitors. The anti-mask rhetoric has caused untold harm to disabled people. Mask bans have already been enacted in many places. We must fight for our right to continue wearing medical masks & respirators.

JB cannot say how many clinical trials have been ruined. FYI: You cannot just stop and start experiments.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

1) Do something autocratic 2) Wait to see how people react 3) If they don't push back hard enough, carry on 4) If they do push back hard enough, "pause" it 5) Illegally consolidate more power 6) Repeat

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

If the goal was to decimate U.S. leadership in biomedical innovation & fire scientists developing cutting-edge treatments—the Trump Administration is succeeding. Trump & Elon are setting America back decades, undercutting research to discover lifesaving cures. It's inexcusable.

"Pausing" scientific research is like "pausing" a car in the middle of the highway—it's liable to have catastrophic, long-term effects that restarting it won't fix.

Trump: “There is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud.” Yes, there’s no standing ovation for cutting funding for cancer research, stripping Medicaid, and raising costs for working people.

Nearly every medicine we benefit from started with NIH-funded research. Early discovery work starts in academia. Immunotherapies? Gene therapy for rare diseases? Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s medicines? Vaccines? Novel cancer treatments? Psychiatric medicines? You betcha. 1/
