My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine.
This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs.
We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.

They’re coming for Medicaid based on a lie about “waste, fraud, and abuse.”
FIGHT BACK. TAKE A STAND.
They’ll gut care for the poor, sick, elderly & disabled—just to feed billionaires tax cut.
Social Security will be next.
If we don’t stop them now, we’ll lose everything.
Medicaid Cuts Kill US‼️

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Guys, I hate to even suggest the possibility, but I’m starting to wonder just a teensy-weensy little bit whether maybe, just maybe, FFOTUS wasn’t totally upfront and forthcoming about Project 2025 during the campaign

PROP - PR Over Policy.
Don't confuse them.
He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him.
Dems need to be strategic.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
