Many physicians are seeing our patients for whom we have provided care, deported to countries who don't have our resources. We know they will die there- that our hard work together often over many years, patient and physician as partners will end in tragedy.

Life-saving research is under threat in Washington, but you 🫵 can help protect it. Congress is in recess right now. That means it's the perfect time to speak up. Take a minute to tell your representatives: protect NIH funding. https://bit.ly/411zjk0

David Brooks, a conservative columnist speaks about the amount of people who have died directly as a result of cuts to USAID by Doge.
Over 55,000 adults, 6,000 children just from AIDS. That’s a total of 300,000 who have died due to Doge’s cuts.
It’s only been four months.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Leavitt: "Federal funding will be withheld until these universities comply with the administration's demands to keep Jewish American students on their college campuses safe, and to eradicate antisemitism and hate speech from their campuses."
