OMB nominee Hal Duncan: “This administration is committed to gold standard science and wants to advance the best cancer research that we possibly can.” Sen. Slotkin: “Slashing cancer research…is not a way to uphold a gold standard for cancer research.”

Having an unqualified anti-vaxxer as Sec of Health & Human Services along with cutting staff at the CDC and FDA is the opposite of "being committed to gold standard science".

One thing that always disappoints is the responses to the tr*mp party rhetoric, it’s so lame and lack lustre, call it out for what it is instead of being scared of offending the likes of Hal Duncans

There is no such thing as a "Gold Standard of Science". That is a made up phrase to pass off pseudoscience that aligns with the MAGA narrative. These fuckers need to stop legitimizing the bullshit from the GoP by repeating made up nonsense words and phrases. This is utter stupidity.

It's getting so no serious person can even use the phrase "gold standard science" any more--it's now so reliably associated with anti-science, fund-slashing, snake-handling woo-woo.

Trump Continuing to nominate & promote the Unqualified & Incompetent to federal government positions. Trump continues to Expand the Swamp - just look at his work on the Reflecting Pool. I wouldn’t hire him to even net the pool A total Clown Show 🤡!

They all lie. It’s all bullshit. They don’t care what the Senators say, since the they’ll get confirmed anyway. Since at least Clarence Thomas, the GOP has known that it’s usually just performative posturing over Republican nominees.

Every magician needs misdirection. The outrage cycle is misdirection. Meanwhile, rent goes up. Wages stay flat. Healthcare gets worse. Groceries get smaller. Debt gets bigger. Stop staring at the shiny hand. Watch the hand in your pocket.

Hal Duncan must be what? 24 yrs old? He should think twice about taking a criminal job he'll be ruined for life for long after trump is dead...

I have a fucking PhD in a science field and I never heard any single scientist use the term "Gold Standard Science" prior to MAGA/MAHA coining that term. Good science is based on creativity, rigor, and peer review, not political favoritism. And it takes resources.

Political rhetoric is all bullshit until we see your budget spending. Budgets show what you value, so show us your budget sheets.

If they actually supported science gender identity wouldn't be attacked, children's programs wouldn't be cut, disability, cancer research, and communicable diseases would have better funding and the list goes on and on and on...

Duncan is evil and also so is Sen Slotkin . Her whole fashion style is fascism lite. Always with the matching leather coat even indoors. Gross. All these fuckers are gross.

Talk is cheap with this administration. Wants to achieve hold standards by funding to a 1 / 10th of other developed countries is gaslighting. Straight n simple. Believe what I say, not what I do.

What the fuck is the point of these hearings when they can blatantly lie and literally nothing happens to them? The working class gets falsely imprisoned or murdered by police and ICE, but these fucks get to literally kill people with their actions and they get to keep doing and get rich

The spread of US intervention in global health under names such as USAID covered unethical murderous practices-Ebola like viruses ACTUALLY given 2ppl in the Congo under research programs out of UK universities r bearing fruit just like how AIDS debacle twinned LA gays & S Africa-Tuskagee & 2026

The mutants are not interested in science. I hope they all develop malignant cancers that could have been prevented by the research efforts they destroyed. That will give them time to think about what they’ve done while undergoing ugly protracted deaths.

Unfortunately, Cancer makes so much money curing it and preventing it would cause financial pain for pharmaceutical companies. We the average people have to suffer so billionaires do not 🤨

Their gold standard is like the gaudy plastic gold sprayed deco plastered on the walls of the WH: fake,cheap,inauthentic, snake oil BS.

This administration is sooooo far away from the gold standard in cancer research, or any science for that matter. How does that guy say that with a straight face? He can't be that stupid. Can't understand how power and prestige is more important than cancer research.

Handwaving about "gold standard" research is a huge red flag. Competent science doesn't need fancy labels. Those are slapped on junk that can't survive scrutiny. It's no surprise this administration is on board with the grifters trying to grab control of science, but it'll take years to clean house.

Whenever anyone in the current regime references "Gold standard science", it's always in reference to the opposite of that, just like every accusation is a confession and a chance for projection.

🤬 WTF?! Is this posted clip of a Slotkin supposed to impress? I mean this is absolutely fn pathetic that our congress is so unable + unprepared to debate with grit the inept + corrupt that is rampant in our federal government.

Gold standard science? How is slashing cancer research even one iota a semblance of science. Where is your data, hypotheses, conclusions? That is parts of science. Gutting something to benefit others is just cruel and sun human. MO

It's like the trump administration and the rest of the GOP think things can't be verified. They tell lie after lie. It's always proven to be a falsehood. What a bunch of nubes.

The same Eejit says Chinese EVS will spy on all American citizens. Google. Tesla. Fb ticktock every American internet platform. Is Spying on American citizens. Say anything. Derogatory about trumpie. Expect a visit from FBI. 🇮🇪🇪🇺
