Actually, not true. #Lungcancer screening with #LDCT detects cancer at an early stage 80+% of the time; 70% of the time at Stage 1 when with complete resection 90+% are alive >5 years. It's an easy non invasive test. Pancreatic & Ovarian cancer do not have recommended screening tests. #lcsm
It's World Lung Cancer Day. CT Lung Screening Finds Lung Cancer at an early stage when there is a good chance for a cure. If you or someone you know smokes or has smoked, please talk to your doctor about #lungcancer screening. #lcsm #worldlungcancerday #pfcc

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

"As the NIH begins to reinstate grants, it's creating a surprising map of winners & losers at odds w/the 🍊admin’s politics. Some institutions, mostly in blue states, are back 2 a semblance of normalcy, others, mostly in red states, are left 2 pick up the pieces of ..." 1/2 #CanSky #IDSky #OncoSky

Lung Cancer 🫁 has been the number 1 cancer killer of American women since 1987. Strange how Congress instructed the CDMRP to delete ALL our federal research funding.
Silence is complicity.
Make some noise.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

I was (barely) able to pull the video off. Here is just that 30 seconds.
Today, Trump with Bukele, Oval Office:

They love you. They love what you do.

I want'em to do yeah home grown criminals next.

[Louder] I said home growns are next. The home growns.

You gotta build about 5 more places. [laughter]

It's not big enough.

Go to about min 7 of the recording
Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”
