This is more than a "cap" on the National Institutes of Health.  This is an attack on future research for cancer and heart disease. This is an attack on vaccine development. This is an attack on medical experts, scientists, students, and teachers. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/f…

The claim that graduate students are “free/cheap labor” is not just wrong—it is utterly infuriating. I have to wonder: how many of the people spreading this absurd misinformation have actually trained a PhD student? How many have poured years into mentoring, teaching, and shaping

About a month after Donald Trump took office, almost all grant-review meetings remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health, preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget.

The focus of their spending bill, which is 🤯, is on the uber-wealthy. They plan to waste trillions on tax giveaways to Musk and other billionaire donors. To pay for it, they’re going to add trillions to the deficit and debt AND cut nearly $1T in healthcare for children and

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

President Trump and Elon Musk’s funding cuts to groundbreaking medical research do NOT Make America Great. That’s why I’m on the Senate floor introducing a resolution pledging support for NIH & asking for immediate passage. Watch. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They've saved millions of lives. 🧵

I know folks are frustrated with Dems responses right now. Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings. I love town halls but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them. Make it real.

why do AOC, Crockett, Frost resonate? why are they effective? why do their moments make it outside the echo-chamber ether??? bc they talk about real issues not only in mediums people in 2025 get their information, but in REAL language that a non-beltway person understands

Great rally in Kenosha. 4,000 people came out to say: NO tax breaks for billionaires. NO cuts to Medicaid. NO oligarchy. NO authoritarianism. NO MORE billionaires buying elections.

Research support for rare diseases, which cumulatively affect ~30 million Americans, is primarily derived from NIH. Such work is exemplified by Anna Greka Broad Institute in a new Ground Truths podcast. Open-access, w/ transcript, full video, no ads

Scientists, researchers, and advocates recently gathered in Washington, D.C. for the Stand Up for Science rally. Voices from Johns Hopkins and across the globe spoke on the importance of continued investment in scientific progress. bit.ly/3DFmgMs

Let’s be very clear: NIH research funding isn’t just about science - it’s an economic powerhouse. The $36.94 billion in external grants last year not only supported groundbreaking medical and scientific discoveries but also sustained over 400,000 jobs, fueling nearly $95

.Mark Cuban More recent data shows NIH-funded research contributed to 354 of 356 drugs (99.4%) approved from 2010–2019. Public funding is indispensable to the health and betterment of the American people—we must do a better job communicating this.
