YESSSSSSSSSS. Thank you, @murray.senate.gov for strongly standing up for American science, medical research, and cures.
👊🇺🇸💅🔥

Thanks for supporting the #NIH ‘ers who want to continue the best research establishment in world history and save it from Trump. 🧪
Please watch and share, everyone!

My message to Trump’s NIH Director? No one in America wants us to do LESS cancer research.

No one is asking Trump to make it harder to cure Alzheimer's disease.

Yet Trump is cutting all of this NOW and demanding an $18 BILLION cut to NIH next year. Not on my watch.

Tesla shouldn't have this "self-driving" feature on roads with a human behind the wheel, let alone robotaxis! This is nuts.

Tesla FSD 13.2.9 will still run a kid down while illegally blowing past a stopped school bus with red lights flashing and stop sign extended.

Elon Musk how many kids does FSD need to run over before you fix this?

I warned about this danger at the 2023 Super Bowl!
