A craven Pentagon plan would siphon billions of dollars away from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), an agency still reeling from DOGE cuts last year.
That’s money to fund critical medical research — lifesaving treatments or cures for infectious diseases like malaria, HIV, Ebola, and other dangerous pathogens. It's money that Congress already used its constitutional authority to appropriate to NIH.
This outrageous plan only came to light after lawmakers went digging. They learned that money they approved for curing diseases could instead be used to patch Pentagon spending shortfalls caused by an illegal war Americans didn’t want, but is costing them BILLIONS.
We refuse to let Hegseth and Co. get away with it. So together, let’s push lawmakers to speak out, demand that taxpayer dollars continue to fund health research, and refuse one more cent for weapons and war.
