After slow-walking critical funding for lifesaving research, the Trump administration has sabotaged the NIH grantmaking process so that researchers get LESS money on average and LESS time to use it.
No one is asking to fund less cancer research, but that's what's happening.

Vaccinating babies against hepatitis B is a simple recommendation that saves lives—one based on solid science, & that has led to a dramatic drop in preventable infections and deaths.
Ending this recommendation will cost lives. RFK Jr. must answer to Congress.
The Trump administration just pardoned and released a convicted Honduran drug lord from prison—a guy who is responsible for bringing literal tons of cocaine into the U.S.
I cannot say this enough: this is the most corrupt administration in American history.
Senate Republicans just handed David Bragdon a LIFETIME judicial appointment— a man who compared abortion to murder and said women "must face the consequences" for their "poor judgment."
Republicans are stacking the courts with anti-choice extremists and hoping you don't notice.
The Republican agenda: Billions in new tax breaks for giant corporations. Zero to stop YOUR health care premiums from skyrocketing.
This young woman has lived in America since she was 7.
On her way to visit family for Thanksgiving, she was abruptly detained, shackled, and deported to Honduras. It's not even clear if she had a deportation order.
This isn't going after criminals. It makes no one safer.
It's not just that the White House won't commemorate World AIDS Day.
It's that Trump has needlessly decimated lifesaving HIV/AIDS research. It's that his administration has cut off resources to help eradicate this disease around the world.
Hurting people and helping no one.
Steve Witkoff has shown the world he will adopt Putin's talking points and concede the sovereignty of our Ukrainian allies if it means some of his billionaire buddies can get rich off Russia.
It's un-American and a total betrayal of our values. Witkoff needs to be fired.
President Trump is pardoning a convicted Honduran drug lord who openly boasted that he would "stuff the drugs right up the noses of the gringos," and push drugs into America.
This is the most pro-crime, pro-corruption administration in our country's history.
Any time Republicans talk about going back to "high-risk pools", what they really mean is effectively kicking millions of people with pre-existing conditions off their health insurance.
Here’s how it works:
Just ahead of the holidays, the Trump administration ripped up new travel rules to rein in airlines and put money back in your pocket.
If you’re watching this and your flight is delayed, spread the word: Trump is only looking out for the giant corporations.
It's very important that Senators are working together in a bipartisan way to ensure strict Congressional oversight following reporting of unlawful orders.
Congress must deliver answers and accountability for the American people.
We NEED the Dept. of Education—no matter how much Republicans try to tell you otherwise.
Schools need funding. Students’ rights need to be protected. Teachers & parents need data to know how to help kids succeed.
But Trump & McMahon are breaking all of that to pieces.
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and often the center of our communities and neighborhoods.
Especially now, as Trump’s tariffs are pushing so many local small businesses to the breaking point, let’s all do our part and shop small for Small Business Saturday.
While costs are rising for every single American—on everything from groceries to utilities—Trump has used the presidency to get $1.8 BILLION richer (and counting). Talk about corruption.
Don't believe me? Check it out yourself:
Wishing everyone in Washington state and across the country a happy Thanksgiving.
This is horrific news the day before Thanksgiving. I’m thinking of the National Guard members who were shot, their loved ones, and their fellow servicemembers.
This kind of violence is chilling and unacceptable. It must be strongly condemned in no uncertain terms.
I helped introduce a bill to fully repeal Republicans' cuts to SNAP—the largest cuts in history.
SNAP is an investment in people and a commitment we make that, in the richest country on earth, kids and families should not be forced to go hungry.
Notice that a lot of what you’re buying for Thanksgiving costs way more?
You can thank Trump for that—because instead of doing anything to lower YOUR costs, he's been focused on building himself a ballroom.
Now Trump is weaponizing the FBI to go after the Members of Congress who spoke out against him.
The President is corrupt and none of us should back down in the face of these intimidation tactics.
