Donald Trump cut funding for cancer research by 31% in the first three months of his term.
This is an attack on every American family who has loved someone with cancer.
Federal funding for medical research is vital. Please read the story about the baby's life who was saved by decades of investment across the public and private sector. We need to make sure we don't stifle medical research in this country.

It's really disappointing to see that the ideological purity police have descended on Bluesky as well. Folks, you need to learn to not attack people who are on your side, even if they don't agree with you 100%. The other side manages to have a big tent somehow, we should give it a try.
