- Nicely written essay by @eblissmoreau.bsky.social on the importance of animal research. I always admire the elegance of her writing.
- The NIH move to restrict animal research is a bad one and not just about health - it's about national security. More here: medium.com/@eblissmorea...

- Reposted by Karen BalesThe top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich. How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

- Congratulations to an amazing scientist and person!

- Reposted by Karen Bales47,000+ Palestinians killed. 111,000 injured. Trump’s response? Forcibly expel Palestinians to make Gaza “a real estate development for the future. A beautiful piece of land.” No. Gaza must be rebuilt for the Palestinian people, not billionaire tourists.
- Reposted by Karen BalesTrump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health. I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.

- Reposted by Karen BalesThis is what amounts to an ILLEGAL & indiscriminate funding cut for research centers everywhere. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, and derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction. We all need to speak out to save lives.
- Reposted by Karen BalesThis morning, we won a court order blocking Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, from accessing Americans’ private data. Musk and his DOGE employees must destroy all records they've obtained. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: no one is above the law.
- We're suing over the free rein Donald Trump gave Elon Musk and DOGE to access Americans’ private information. Musk and DOGE want to use this information to cut vital services that Americans rely on — from health care to education. This is unacceptable and illegal. vimeo.com/1054527049/f...

- Reposted by Karen BalesNo more business as usual. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are imposing pain on millions of people. Tonight, we’re taking this fight to the Senate floor. Russ Vought - author of Project 2025 - is up for a vote, and Democrats are using every second to throw a wrench in their plan.

- Reposted by Karen BalesMusk, Zuckerberg and Bezos are working with Trump for one very simple reason: They understand that Trump's policies are designed to make the wealthiest Americans even richer. These three men have become $232 billion richer since November. Not bad in a couple of months time!

- Reposted by Karen BalesSenator Raphael Warnock ahead of the vote on RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary: "I simply do not trust him to oversee the CDC. He's unqualified, and I dare say that everybody here knows it." BOOM! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
- Reposted by Karen BalesI voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS. I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.
