Figure showing number of competitive grants mentioning women from 2015-2025. The number was rising until recently, with a precipitous drop in the last year.

At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years.

Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.”

Ultra-wealthy tried to unseat POTUS Roosevelt in 1933. They failed. FDR tax policy created USA middle class prosperity, yet it was racist to non-white people. But FDR policy stuck until 1981, when Reagan tilted to the wealthy. Working folk have suffered since. GOP controlled states poorest&sickest.

As Trump's war on Iran continues, reminder that his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.

War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth.

The war on women has never stopped.

Team Trump reverses its reversal, gives Russia another break on oil sanctions “Enough is enough,” key Senate Democrats said. “President Trump needs to stop letting Putin play him for a fool.”

Team Trump keeps finding new ways to reward Russia:
- extended break on oil sanctions
- shrugging off evidence that Russia has helped Iran
- allowed Russia to bypass Cuban oil blockade
- vouched for Putin’s trustworthiness

And that’s just from the last couple of months.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.
