The unexpected elimination of funding for the decades-long research project focused on women's health shocked scientists. They were heartened by the quick restoration of support.

Good, but it is incompetence. This government seems to cut first and then fix their cock-ups when there is an outcry. That's lazy and stupid. Analyze carefully first, then make appropriate cuts.
Restored because they realized that sick/dying women can't reproduce. It's all about desire for women to make babies, they don't care how they reach their goals. More women are going to be raped because their rights are being eroded. They already don't want children to learn that they can say No
Whoopsy daisy! Just another Trump mistake. We have to wait a couple of days to find out if it's eliminating the funding or restoring the funding that’s the mistake. You never can tell.
To make sense (?) of Musk's approach, you need to understand his algorithm. The problem is that what works in the private sector does not work in the public sector, where the stakes are also higher.
Musk: "If you do not end up adding back at least 10% of them, then you didn't delete enough."
Funding quickly restored - this is just further evidence of the incompetence of the people making these cuts. There was no justification for cutting the funds in the first place.
Women aren’t really people, why on earth should we have medical care or scientific research about our specific needs? We can just go with the program and assume anything for men is “generic” right? 😹
My mother is part of the survey. Now that she has dementia, I answer the yearly questions. Why does this regime want to destroy every good and smart thing happening here?
In 2016 & 2020, NPR intentionally gave Bernie Sanders far less coverage than mainstream candidates, despite massive crowds and top poll numbers. Whenever they mentioned him, it was dismissive. A public station ignored a movement that could’ve changed America. No one should ever forget what NPR is.
They know what they are cutting. They are testing the fence strength of everything. They are seeing what they can cut without shocking their base. If they stay in power after 2-4 years they will eventually cut the program.
The executive branch has no authority to block funds that Congress has already allocated.
Sure wish Congress would stop bootlicking and stand up for itself... but, who am I kidding.
Oh by the way, call up your Congressmen and give them an earful. I do it daily.
Only to try and force women to spawn..and when women get sick with poisoned milk, or hospitalized with bird flu and they miscarry, then they can ship em off to a foreign prison..and if you do have a kid it's one more child to line up in front of the firing squad to entertain billionaires.
We need a comprehensive list of the administrations back peddling. We know this, the tariffs-which he has back peddled on several times, allowing musk to access Pentagon data, the SS phone help lines. What else?
They got the funding back but only after bending over for Trump and cutting 35% of their contracts?Which means there are over a third fewer people, etc to continue this and other work.
I’m not comfortable with the word “restore” in these headlines. Reverses is more accurate. The money was already approved and was not his to remove or restore.
wild that there are all these initiatives to increase birth rates and get women to have more children and be the “fertilization president” or whatever and then do stuff like this
The pressure and its presence is the fear in this president. Pretty soon, there will be no where to hide. The entire world knows that he lied. The entire world wants to see him fry.

How much do the execs get paid again?
I think if all their partners cut them off, no sex at all, they will finally know those women have power. Treat them as human beings!
But it's ridiculous that we have to do this. People die in the interim.

“The turnabout was a relief for scientists in the field, though they were still awaiting official confirmation that the defunding had been reversed.”
