Just for added context, the NIH is the largest funder of medical research in the United States by far. This is absolutely devastating to medical research across the entire country, and the world considering how sprawling and interconnected many of these projects are. This is money that was by law supposed to be distributed to researchers doing important work across the country and internationally, on everything from Alzheimers to cancer to ALS. This will mean the closure of many labs, interrupted and halted clinical trials, many scientists, technicians and coordinators being laid off, and many young scientists never even getting the chance to get their career of the ground. The breadth of the damage from this blatantly illegal sequestration of funds is difficult to describe.

Edit: Headline was changed shortly after I posted this. Decision was so horrific even they reversed themselves after only hours. Even without this things are still bad at NIH though and with medical research funding, so please keep talking to anyone you can about supporting medical research and stopping republicans from destroying it.

Will use 4x as much electricity though, ugh.

Anyone know of any refrigerators today that are as durable as older ones and have today’s efficiencies, but without the smart features and other junk?

Average refrigerator today still lasts 13 years though, and while they’re made cheaply they also are cheaper (at least as a portion percentage of the average paycheck).

Geeze dude, half of the shit in there is out of Trump’s own mouth. The first quote I listed was from the interview you posted! From Sean Hannity! If you’re not just a troll, you really need to take a step back and at least listen to some of the things your own god king is saying.

And yeah I’ll be sure not to vote for Hunter Biden or his laptop for president, thanks.

Yeah, par for the course for Hannity and anything fox news related, misleading headline and quote, from a misleading non-answer by Trump that’s so all over the place it’s hard to follow. Even the tiny little portion they clipped out, he goes on to say he has “every right” to go after Biden if elected.

Look, when this election is over, based on what they’ve done, I would have every right to go after them, and it’s easy, because it’s Joe Biden and you see all the criminality, all of the money that’s going into the family and him, all of this money from China, from Russia, from Ukraine

And his accusations that Biden is directing his prosecution (especially ridiculous when two of the cases are state cases) are all projection anyways to distract from the fact that he’s already tried to interfere at the justice department many times when he was president.

Such a short memory Trump has. So yes, it is very true, and he’s already tried to do it many times. I know you’re probably a troll posting misinformation, this comment is for anyone else reading.

So then we don’t have to give money to Israel if we keep going after tax cheats instead? Sounds great, let’s do that
