“It really smacks, I think, of how desperate these candidates are, and what desperate straits the party is in, that they’re prepared to indulge Trump in the kind of things he’s saying and doing,” said Tim Bale, a professor of politics at Queen Mary, University of London. “A lot of the constraints have come off British politics.

On Wednesday, the Department of Health and Human Services announced it would end the use of human fetal tissue from elective abortions for medical research.

The Trump administration is ending English classes, recreational activities, and legal aid for unaccompanied minors in federal migrant shelters because of a lack of funding, amid an increase in border crossings.

As of last year, the N.I.H. spent about $100 million of its $37 billion annual budget on research projects involving fetal tissue.
