Yes, there is an injunction, but... "In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet “agency priorities”. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Ending the federal role in education is like burning books, but on steroids. It’s what you do when you’re afraid of ideas and people who can think for themselves.

if anyone has any lingering impostor syndrome at all, read this to confirm that a wide swath of people have less object permanence than a dead dog

This new Atlantic piece on the timeline of the NIH shutdown reads like the script to a new Soderbergh film. It is so, so dark and perfectly captures the evil and intentional chaos behind everything we've experienced over the last month www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

New story on NIH intramural research issues. www.science.org/content/arti...

BREAKING: The NIH summer internship program (SIP) has been officially cancelled, across all institutes. It’s a sad loss for the brightest science students in America, for American science, and for future cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. 🧪 1/

This is terrifying.

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇 @housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the  expense of the middle class.

Why am I NOT surprised to see that House Republicans are pushing ahead with their budget plan to cut TRILLIONS from the budget at the expense of American people? CUT Medicaid, CUT food programs for our seniors and children. They’re just looking out for their billionaire buddies.

Important 🧵: Stanford political scientist uses data to show DOGE is attacking “liberal” agencies, not focusing on waste & inefficiency: “The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”

Mosaic K99 in my review pile was just reactivated for study section at the end of February!

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory

BREAKING The Trump administration is maintaining a funding freeze at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in defiance of two federal court orders. The ongoing freeze was confirmed by an NIH official and internal correspondence reviewed by Popular Information.

Hearing that DOGE went into the Dept of Education today and shut down almost the entirety of the department's in-house research arm, Institute of Educational Sciences, cancelling contracts totally about $900m.

This is so incredibly insane

This is a big deal, y'all. Federal health websites are being stripped of content or removed in their entirety. Stick with this thread for a look at what's disappeared so far! 1/x

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

ways Trump is making the economy great again so far - draconian tariffs that will increase prices - demonizing fed workers, instituting hiring freeze, & offering "buyouts" to FAA employees ahead of the worst plane crash in decades - making people believe air travel is unsafe due to women & POC

i need someone to ask john roberts if nondelegation applies to handing over the entire federal government to a single unelected billionaire

BREAKING: A federal district judge just temporarily blocked Trump's freeze on federal grants and loans — pausing the plan for a week and setting a hearing for further arguments on Monday morning.

Me, too.

Claudine Gay responds, and she’s spot on: “It is not lost on me that I make an ideal canvas for projecting every anxiety about the generational and demographic changes unfolding on American campuses: a Black woman selected to lead a storied institution.” www.nytimes.com/2024/01/03/o...
