This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.
“The home-growns are next,” Trump said. “You’re going to need to build about five more places.”
"And in the background, you can hear laughter. Cold-blooded, justice-defying, humanity- rejecting laughter."

Despite court order, NIH grants remain frozen. Newly awarded grants, grants with fundable scores, & funds for a new budget cycle of a current project are all *FROZEN*🥶 and not being released. US research is being choked to death & is on life support right now www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
DOGE is canceling government contracts that help veterans. Records show among the 875 contracts were arrangements to help medical services, fund cancer programs, recruit doctors, and provide burial services to veterans.

Every biomedical researcher in the country should be screaming. 1/
Example here of NIH scientists being unready to deal with Trump and Musk.

They were given an hour? Someone at NIH should have noted the illegality and found a way to delay —then leaked it like crazy. 🧪

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...
