Jerry Nadler, currently serving as a U.S. Congressman representing New York’s 12th district, has voiced his concerns about President Trump’s proposed budget. Nadler’s tweets have expressed strong opposition to the budget’s implications on public health and safety.
On May 2, 2025, Nadler criticized the budget stating, “Trump’s budget also shamefully cuts all federal domestic HIV funding. Read my statement on this dangerous and cruel plan below:”. This comment highlights Nadler’s view on how the budget may adversely affect domestic health initiatives.
In another tweet on the same day, Nadler further condemned the proposal, remarking that, “Trump’s budget takes a sledgehammer to basic public health and safety, all to provide billions more for the Pentagon, deportations, and border walls. It guts disease prevention at the CDC, and cuts nearly $18 billion from the NIH, threatening research on cancer, Alzheimer’s”. Nadler stresses the potential risks posed to disease prevention and medical research funding due to the proposed budget allocations.
On the same date, he posted another message containing only a link: “https://t.co/ipoDPLgahj”. While the immediate content of this link is not clarified, it is likely related to the criticism of the budget.
