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.

    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!

        Why are you posting when there is a genocide going on?

        Isn’t stopping a genocide worth you going Luigi and sacrificing yourself in an attempt to stop it?

        What’s your life worth compared to the genocide happening right now? You not doing everything in your power is basically you condoning it.

        Maybe doing Luigi is too extreme, fine. Are you still paying your taxes? The taxes funding a genocide and you’re still paying them? How come? You’re not willing to go to prison to stop genocide?

        I think you should do more than not vote and post online if you really do care.

          I hope democrats continue to lose elections, their blue MAGA supporters deserve to cry and suffer over it. Serves them right.

          You’re getting the fascist dictatorship you deserve. Decades of voting blue no matter who brought us here.

          Your grandparents murdered Nazis so you pussies could whine cry and carry on about how there’s nothing you can do except vote for closet fascists. Pathetic.

          The democrat party needs to be fucking destroyed. They are complicit in the rise of fascism and cynically fundraise off it while giving themselves tax breaks. Rather lose to a fascist than give a single concession to the left. Fuck them and their supporters.

          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.
