The Cornell Daily Sun reports: The University joined litigation against the U.S. Department of Energy and DOE Secretary Chris Wright, according to a Monday email from President Michael Kotlikoff and Provost Kavita Bala. attentiontotheunseen.com/2025/04/14/c...

The Trump administration has tried to impose a 15% research infrastructure cap on Department of Energy (DOE) grants, even after a federal judge delivered a *permanent injunction* against a similar effort meant to dismantle medical research nationwide. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

MIT following Harvard's lead here

HHS officials could not give a full accounting of the number of people who have been fired from the agency. HHS officials insisted that the agency’s massive staffing cuts had been performed “with a scalpel” and “with nuance” but they did not have any numbers of who had been laid off.

NEW: Systems at the Department of Health and Human Services are in danger of collapse, workers say, following the purging of IT and cyber staff. This could put public health data, including sensitive health records of hundreds of millions of Americans, at risk. read @davidgilbert.bsky.social:

I’ve now had two NIH program officers tell me that they are not able to provide feedback on the content of new or revised applications. Why is this? And also how messed up this is… @altnih4science.bsky.social

Citizens Energy Group has closed the intersection of Stop 11 Road and Shelby Street in Indianapolis for sewer repairs. The closure is expected to reopen by Friday. Traffic is being detoured using south side thoroughfares.

Good morning Bluesky!

Partly to mostly cloudy skies today with isolated showers and possibly a rumble of thunder across southeastern Indiana. Temperatures will be cooler tomorrow with wind gusts of 30-40 mph at times. Rain chances then increase towards the end of the work-week. #INwx #Hoosiersky

Thanks. I think this explains the odd rumors. We will see what this means in practical terms.

Heads-up… Foreign Justification for NIH applications Seeing these messages from various groups cfar.ucsf.edu/news/foreign...

I am hearing weird rumors about some new DOGE grant payment justification system. If anyone has info, please DM me or reach out on Signal (jeremymberg.78)

Good morning Bluesky!

Warmer temperatures expected today with highs in the 60s. It'll be breezy with occasional wind gusts to 30 mph. After an even warmer day Monday temperatures briefly cool Tuesday into Wednesday before trending warmer again towards the end of the week. #INwx #Hoosiersky

It’s both staggering and scary the level of access DOGE has to government data and how much they’re able to do within the systems. Someone that doesn’t have a clue about what work is actually being done within these agencies should not have this level of control within these agencies. #RAdminsky

This is the biggest con job in American history-an outrageous scam right out in the open.Trump and Musk belong behind bars. They're blatantly robbing hardworking Americans, siphoning off every dollar they can just to pad their already bloated bank accounts.It's sickening, and it's got to stop now.

Trump is forcing Americans who are seeking their earned benefits to sign up for Elon Musk's app. Pure corruption.

DOGE is a scam. It was never about cost savings or efficiency

DOE goes full NIH.

Is this some kind of rhetorical game, or does this individual not actually understand what is "actually the point" of dismantling NIH (and the rest of the federal govt)? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/o...

The amount of incompetence by this Administration is astounding! They are going to kill so many Americans with their misinformation. 😔

HHS: we’re going to remove fluoride because people say it’s a neurotoxin (it’s NOT at the levels added), we’re going to gut vaccines, because autism (again it’s NOT a cause) But we aren’t going to do a thing about what we know IS a neurotoxin FFS

But egg prices! #freemarket #capitalism

Good morning Bluesky! Enjoy the weekend!

A Freeze Warning continues across central Indiana through 9AM with plenty of sun along with temperatures warming into the upper 50s by mid-afternoon. River flooding continues across southwest Indiana. A few thunderstorms are possible Monday afternoon. #INwx #Hoosiersky

More funding cuts that will have an adverse effect on Americans. CDRMP lost 57% of funding for medical research. Folk are going to die because our government only cares about making the rich richer.

Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.

The NIH reinstated the University of Utah’s CTSA grant. It was terminated last month because it was 'not meeting federal priorities.’ Read more @thechrony.bsky.social dailyutahchronicle.com/2025/04/11/n...

Anyone who thought they were stopping with NIH was fooling themselves.

Our Secretary of EDUCATION! U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon attended a Summit, where experts in education and technology gathered to discuss how AI will impact learning. While speaking on a panel about AI in the workforce, McMahon repeatedly referred to AI as “A1,” like the steak sauce.
