The pro-life party should be called the slow-death party.

Now under Trump, the NIH says it is cutting ~$9 billion in federal research grants supporting medical research ranging from cancer to Alzheimer's diseases.

“I think it’s going to destroy research universities in the short term, and I don’t know after that." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/u...

Deep Cuts to Medical Research Funds Could Hobble University Budgets

Grants from the National Institutes of Health come with additional money for overhead. Proposed funding cuts would leave colleges with large budget gaps.

We’ve seen this before. During his last term the price of lumber, concrete, etc went through the roof. It trump says we have plenty of lumber - probably going to start harvesting our National Parks. I bet the Mighty Sequoias will yield a ton.

Gavin Newsom is doing a pretty good job so far.

But what about states like NC where Republicans are trying to cripple our new (and amazing) AG Jeff Jackson? HCR had a great Substack about this a few weeks ago.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

What could possibly go wrong??

Blaming Dems and DEI for his own gut job of the FAA. Classic Donald. #fucktrump

Following deadly plane crash, Trump blames Democrats, DEI without evidence

Expectations were low ahead of the president's comments on the Flight 5342 crash. With his ugly and partisan rhetoric, Trump failed to clear a low bar.
