You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Private security forces violently suppressing an act of free speech questioning the GOP.
During a GOP town hall at Coeur d'Alene High School, Teresa Borrenpohl called out, “Is this a lecture or a town hall?” Witnesses said three unidentified men, who were not wearing badges or ID, then physically removed from her seat by order of the Idaho county sheriff.

Their stories should be told. The people that are being fired in mass are real people whose lives are completely upended. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-n...
How Trump's NIH layoffs upended one probationary staffer's life: "We are important and we do important work"
Before she had even unpacked her Washington, D.C., apartment after making the move from Alabama, Katie Sandlin became one of thousands of federal probationary workers to be fired.

Interestingly, there's actually a term that historians use to decribe people who were Nazis not because of antisemitism, but for other reasons like economic anxiety, regaining national pride, or defending the traditional German way of life.
And that term is "Nazi".

So what I find as particularly insidious is that we know that reducing black white differences in education can be effectively addressed by increasing the number of black teachers. A black child having a black teacher is 13% more like to graduate HS and 19% more likely to enroll in college.
From the new Dear Colleague Letter out of the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights on race and education:
“It would, for instance, be unlawful for an educational institution to eliminate standardized testing to achieve a desired racial balance or to increase racial diversity.”

I cannot stress this enough. Call your senators, call them a lot. Tell them what the changes in NIH will do to you. Our biomedical research is the envy of the world. We cannot give this up.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.
I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
