This is part of a pattern that is impeachable: Trump cuts previously appropriated Congressional funds, but only to states led by Democrats (California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota).

He oversaw preventable patient suffering and he knows that. Also, "the commitment to **funding** cancer research is undiminished" is technically true about the budget, but he knows that NIH will be using MYF to force as much attrition among scientists, including cancer researchers, as it can.

As a graduate of Texas A&M, I can say that the university is essentially giving up on its mission of higher ed. When you vet every single syllabi for 'ideological' content--not to mention terminate an excellent women & gender studies program--you might as well not pretend to stand for anything.

Sobering to have to tell your 18-year old kid (born and raised in NYC) to carry his passport around with him at all times because he's not white. Or for that matter, myself too, a U.S. citizen. Reminds me of visiting Russia when I would get constantly profiled by cops and asked for dokumenty.
