Russell Vought really doesnt want you to have cancer research and will do whatever he has to to ensure that’s the case. Even though his own daughter has benefited from federally funded research. Typical 🙄

Yeah lemme just put a camera that I have no control over in my bathroom, what could go wrong?!

If scientists and grant writers can't say "contaminants", we can 't study...

At the start of the Trump administration, an executive order was released with certain words and phrases that will now be flagged by federal agencies. While an executive order is not law, the OMB ruling and/or the NSF proposal would make it law. Enforcing a political rule where there should not be one.

These topics are at the heart of Americans' concerns. But the trump administration and the people who funded it have no interest in Americans' concerns.

Scientific funding should be based on evidence and decided by experts, not guided by ideology. We have multiple ways to Stand Up For Science and get involved, all at the link in our bio, or sign up to volunteer at zurl.co/TtJm0

The Trump admin has deleted hundreds of valuable data sets on vital health & education data sets

The Trump admin has deleted hundreds of valuable data sets on vital health & education data sets - such as sexual & emotional violence against children - all because they don’t “align with the admin’s priorities”.

Erasing the data doesn’t erase the reality – it only makes it harder to address.
