Summary
Trump’s administration announced a $4 billion annual cut to National Institutes of Health (NIH) research funding, targeting “indirect costs” like infrastructure and personnel.
Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.), a staunch Trump supporter, cautiously warned it could harm institutions like the University of Alabama at Birmingham, a key economic and healthcare provider.
Her mild criticism suggests she is hearing from anxious constituents or worried about the impact on her state.
The cuts could devastate rural academic health centers nationwide, and legal experts argue they may be unlawful, likely prompting lawsuits.

Because the state will go bankrupt without it. The U of Bama is the number 1 employer of the state, and it can’t survive without the NIH funding.
Oh, well. It’s what your state voted for. Enjoy.
“He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting!”
“I didn’t vote for this!”
^ The mating calls of the redcaps…
Unfortunately, the tears just tenderize and add some salt on the faces for the leopards. If you want to really give them a treat, roll your face in msg or just dried mushrooms.
She should be more concerned as a Senator that the NIH’s funding is set by Congress, not the President.
The concern should be “Why is the President trying to do my fucking job?”
“Has concerns”
Sounds just like Susan Collins…more of that unqualified goodness I’ve been hearing so much about because someone is younger?
Katie Britt can go suck Alex Jones’s dick.
