My mom and my grandma died of Alzheimer’s. I don’t wish it on my worst enemy. Or Trump. Even though he deserves it because of cuts like this.
Gutting Alzheimer's research.

👀 DOJ acknowledges making two significant errors during a court hearing last week on efforts to dismantle USAID
1) It said only 500 employees had been placed on leave. Actual number was 2,140.
