Before DOGE, systems meant to serve millions of people were being run by a few harried employees using outdated systems. And now, after DOGE, they are being run by even fewer, even more harried employees on those same outdated systems!
So, DOGE, What Would You Say You Did Here?

"I asked Offit if he saw a way to reverse the public’s rising distrust in science. “I don’t think there is any way to regain that trust other than have the viruses do the education, and the bacteria do the education, and then people will realize they paid way too high a cost,” he said."

The NIH is 1% of the federal budget. It's responsible for saving Americans today and far into the future. Yet, the Trump admin is hell bent on hobbling the NIH. Millions of dollars in lost research on cancer, Alzheimers and diabetes can't be fixed by thoughts, prayers, and beef tallow. #impeachrfk
