Summary

Trump has reportedly slashed funding for the NIHā€™s Roy Blunt Center for Alzheimerā€™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 Alzheimerā€™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 Alzheimerā€™s and Parkinsonā€™s research.

Critics argue the move contradicts past GOP support and lacks justification from either party or scientific leaders.

      Sheā€™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 canā€™t do nothing wrong not even a genocide is worthy of criticism to the vote blue no matter who types who canā€™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 wouldnā€™t have lost the election. You know, demand they hold a primary and stop funding israel. But thatā€™s too hard, letā€™s lose to fascists instead! And then ratchet further to the right!

          Yeah, like Curtis yarvin isnā€™t the leader of the ā€œdark enlightenmentā€ fascist MAGA bullshit and has the ear of Musk and Thiel.

          Nah heā€™s just an influencer. ā€œThought leadersā€ are only a linked in phenomenon I guess.
