Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.
Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

Just remember all this if there is a catastrophic intelligence failure under this administration. Because they will *immediately* try to crush dissent and offload blame.

It's not surprising that Trump's populism is fake, but it's hardly ever been more clear.

I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person
I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

For nearly a century, our nation has upheld the sacred promise of Social Security — that hard work is rewarded with dignity and respect when one retires or becomes disabled.
Donald Trump is breaking that promise.
We can't wait for the damage to set in, it's time to stand up.
