Oh God, American Zhdanovism.
Wiki: Zhdanovism was a Soviet cultural doctrine developed by Central Committee secretary Andrei Zhdanov in 1946. Under this policy artists who failed to comply with the government's wishes risked persecution...Part of Zhdanovism was a campaign against 'cosmopolitanism'.

NIH has announced major cuts. Medical and scientific research across the country will be badly damaged, affecting America's ability to innovate well into the future.
Here are the 25 institutions that receive the most NIH funding (98% of HHS is NIH). Basically, they're large schools with large hospitals. They receive 50% of all NIH funding.

America right now is a high school cafeteria. The Dems are getting stuffed in lockers. It isn't a funny movie though, it's life or death. Time for a daring, rule breaker for good. No previous rules apply. FUCKING GO FOR IT!
