Summary
Trump has reportedly slashed funding for the NIH’s Roy Blunt Center for Alzheimer’s Research, leading to layoffs, including its incoming director.
The center, named after former GOP Senator Roy Blunt, was a Republican-backed initiative to advance Alzheimer’s and dementia research. Despite previously championing the program, Republicans have remained silent on the cuts.
Experts warn weakening the center will significantly set back Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s research.
Critics argue the move contradicts past GOP support and lacks justification from either party or scientific leaders.
Telling someone who holds our leaders accountable for genocide support to grow up is fucking rich.
What does Rachel Maddow lead…?
Thought leadership. Influence.
Calling a comment about rachel fucking maddow on lemmy ‘holding our leaders accountable’ is straight up pathetic shit. Go actually do something or find a new tune to sing.
She’s a leader regardless of if I like her or not. She has a ton of influence and she uses that to cheerlead the blue MAGA democrats who can’t do nothing wrong not even a genocide is worthy of criticism to the vote blue no matter who types who can’t figure out how or why they lost an election.
Maybe if your kind - blue MAGA - learned to grow the fuck up and hold their leaders accountable instead of being pussies the democrats wouldn’t have lost the election. You know, demand they hold a primary and stop funding israel. But that’s too hard, let’s lose to fascists instead! And then ratchet further to the right!
Aha. You don’t know the difference between influential and leadership.
Yeah, like Curtis yarvin isn’t the leader of the “dark enlightenment” fascist MAGA bullshit and has the ear of Musk and Thiel.
Nah he’s just an influencer. “Thought leaders” are only a linked in phenomenon I guess.
