To protect Pennsylvania's interests and the funding appropriated to us by Congress, I’m left with no choice but to pursue legal action to defend our Commonwealth.

Trump's illegal NIH cuts mean cancer researchers would be laid off, sick kids going without treatment, and more. These cuts would be DEVASTATING for lifesaving research. Some Republicans have said they agree—but they just blocked my amendment to reverse Trump's NIH cuts anyway.

The House will soon vote on a continuing resolution to fund government programs through the end of fiscal year 2025 (FY25). Ask Congress to vote no on this proposed legislation that would disrupt research into new therapeutics for ovarian cancer: bit.ly/3Fdymgr.

Congress is voting on a bill that cuts cancer research funding at the DoD by more than 50%! This would be devastating to the Pancreatic Cancer Research Program. Join me in telling Congress to vote NO on cuts! p2a.co/nPxyvAu
