People who spend their careers writing NIH grants are the literal opposite of grifters. It is a soul-sucking, brutal process. The scientists don’t get rich when they get funded. Their salary doesn’t change. They do it for science. For patients. You know, to make 🇺🇸healthy.

This is a list of blockbuster drugs in 2024. Guess how many can trace their origins to NIH funded research? All of them.

Imagine running a restaurant & suddenly only having budget for ingredients & chefs—no rent, electricity, heat, water, support staff, insurance, trash, toilet paper. This is what 'cutting indirects' did to every major biomedical center & hospital in the US.

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

Republicans against Trump
@RpsAgainstTrump2 Nov 2024
.@Timodc sets the record straight: “The left isn't calling Donald Trump a ‘fascist’…It’s John Kelly, a conservative American hero that Donald Trump hired twice, that’s saying this about him.”

Single most important graphic to share with MAGA: Here are the words of 8 of Trumps top Generals. Please tell me one good reason why we should take the words of the convicted felon who was found liable for FRAUD, over some of the most respectable men from his own time in the White House. Please share.

The Lincoln Project
@ProjectLincoln4 Nov 2024
Your dad's Republican party is dead. Trump and his cronies are dragging its corpse along the campaign trail in hopes the American people won't know the difference, but we do. These aren't real Republicans, they are fascist thugs. Vote for sanity. Vote for Kamala Harris.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Lindsey Graham just blamed Donald Trump for the border security legislation not passing. Retweet so all Americans see this and know Donald Trump is to blame for any border security related problems.

Holy hell this ad from @VoteVets absolutely eviscerates Trump. Share this everywhere. Because NOBODY in our armed forces should EVER have to salute that man again.
