It’s never been about the money (abandoning the studies midway ruins the investment). It’s about punishing poor and marginalized people. And they don’t even know how unsafe they’ve made it because they’re that stupid and short-sighted. A truly disgraceful course.
Dozens of Clinical Trials Have Been Frozen in Response to Trump’s USAID Order
The stop-work order on U.S.A.I.D.-funded research has left thousands of people with experimental drugs and devices in their bodies, with no access to monitoring or care.

Dad took 9 year old me to see White Men Can’t Jump in the dollar theater. “Don’t tell your mom we saw this.” Uh, deal, pops. #SupRosie
What’s the most uncomfortable movie you’ve watched with a parent? Once I was watching Requiem for a Dream and my dad decided to sit down and watch with me. I had to leave the room.
I watched Fame with my mother and it led to the single most awkward conversation I ever had with her

'I can't find a lawyer because you suck' is an all-time banger of a pro se argument
Rudy Giuliani, acting pro se, requests a 30-day extension to file his already-late response to Freeman and Moss's contempt motion. Giuliani claims he can't find a lawyer "because they believe Your Honor is unreasonable and biased about Trump related matters." ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/doc1/0450110...
