Johns Hopkins to lose 2,000 jobs after Trump’s $800m cut in USAid funding Johns Hopkins University announced it was planning to cut more than 2,000 jobs after the Trump administration slashed $800m in grants to the renowned academic institution. The funding for the positions had come from the US Agency for International Development, which the administration has gutted with massive cuts. A total of 247 domestic US workers and another 1,975 positions abroad in 44 countries will be affected by what amounts to the largest layoff in the history of the university. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/13/johns-hopkins-job-cuts-usaid
Part of a show for tv, as they pretend to care, yet gut cancer research, and all types of other medical research on the sidelines, as part of cutting what they call government fraud, waste, and abuse, It's bad enough that millions of people can't afford healthcare right now, and can't afford cancer testing, diagnosis, treatment or medicines. It's just like the 200 million Trump is spending on his pro-Trump ads on radio and tv around the globe where he specifically wanted Noem to thank him for his immigration crackdown. 200 million to praise him and toot his horn, as the Department of Homeland Security is reportedly in the process of firing hundreds of high level employees, on top of hundreds of other cuts in the Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. How do you justify that the department doesn’t have the resources to keep those people employed, but it does have the resources to spend hundreds of millions to air pro-Trump political propaganda television and radio ads around the globe?
