Cliff Bentz got ROASTED by his Republican constituents at his last town hall, R’s are being told to stop hosting them. This is not the time to take your foot off the gas. Whether you’re Republican, Democrat, Independent, etc, the threat to Democracy affects everyone who is not a billionaire.

Congress just needs three Republicans to be willing to save our Democracy.
Three.
I don’t care if they’re getting threats, all our lives are in danger and they took an oath to protect the constitution.
Anyway, here’s Oregon Republican Cliff Bentz’s number! If you’re a constituent say so.

Republicans' latest budget plan would cut $200 BILLION in healthcare and $50 BILLION in groceries for families.
That $250 billion is set to go straight to billionaires and corporations in their Trump tax scam bill.

The constitution quite clearly gives Congress the power of the purse, a power the Executive branch is pretending it now has.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

ICE detained a family—including a toddler—after they were overheard speaking Spanish. They’re US citizens from Puerto Rico.
No chance to explain. The mother, grandmother, and child were shopping when ICE agents took them into detention before admitting their “mistake.”

A big misconception about Greenland is that since it’s labeled a Danish colony, its residents are just a bunch of white dudes named Kristian—which is extremely harmful and inaccurate.
The population is 85% Indigenous! It belongs to the Kalaallit people, not to Denmark and CERTAINLY not to the U.S.

It should not be taken lightly that a sitting Member of Congress is advocating for the deportation of an American citizen due to their perceived political beliefs.

If you know someone who has had cancer, which you almost certainly do, just fyi the National Cancer Institute is the single biggest budget of the 27 pieces of NIH. Anyway it’d be a shame for everyone who knows someone with cancer to hear about NIH funding shenanigans.
I spend much more time on climate than biomedical research these days. But the NIH shit has always just got to me (disclosure, I guess, my dad is a retired neuroscientist with NIH grants). The ROI for NIH-funded research is *absurd*, even before you get to lives saved. I hate it coming under attack.
The NIH gets >50,000 applications for its primary grant type every year and it’s already so cash strapped that the success rate has only recently crept back over 20 percent. You could triple the NIH budget with money the Pentagon loses in the couch cushions and find plenty of worthy science to fund.
