In order to legally review grant applications, NIH has to post notices of its upcoming review meetings in the Federal Register. Trump is preventing the posting of those notices, thereby effectively preventing the awarding of grants DESPITE a court order pausing the funding freeze.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

If you enjoy watching Dems flip GOP-held seats, we will have a great opportunity to do so in a Special Election for Connecticut State Senate District 21 on February 25th. It's an R+1 seat (we flipped an R+10 seat in Iowa), so it's a prime opportunity. valley.newhavenindependent.org/article/two_...

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator. And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

🚨 Your House representative is now back home through February 23. That’s where we come in. With Trump and Elon Musk pulling off a billionaire coup in real time, this congressional recess is about turning up the heat like never before. Let’s get to work: indivisi.org/muskorus

Consider reaching out to your local schools to see if there are students with an overdue balance on their meal account. Some students are not allowed to move on or graduate if there is a debt. That stress impacts their learning capacity. Random gestures of kindness can change a life.

For my latest story, I reported on the lives of the undocumented contract workers who helped power Elon Musk's expansion in Austin. Sweeping debris, laying plumbing and pouring concrete, these workers built facilities that helped make Musk’s $400 billion fortune. Read for free: bloom.bg/41gG6a3
