The court ordered that NIH grant funding be unfrozen, so The Regime found a way around it. For NIH grants to be funded, a review panel must rank them. In order for a review panel to meet, they must post it on the Federal Register. Submissions to the Federal Register are now on hold “indefinitely”.

What I hear during these arguments: "It's better for children to die of preventable diseases than for them to grow up to be like you."

Out of curiosity, I mapped the percentage of the civilian workforce employed using NIH grant money. A couple of things stand out. First, New York has the highest percentage of any state by far. Second, many states that voted Republican will be directly affected if these jobs are lost.

Writing on the wall that I'm about to lose my job. Only real question is when -- and whether the person in charge of dismissing me gets the boot first. 💔

#NIH just slashed indirect costs caps on grants to 15%--this is a HUGE blow to the research community. While there is certainly inefficiency to the grants system, indirects help institutions support scientists & academic infrastructure. No one will want to do research anymore. #medsky #academicsky

Oregon filed a multi-state federal lawsuit today to block a presidential order that threatens to end federal funding to medical institutions providing gender-affirming care. We will not stand by as the President tries to unilaterally impose his harmful agenda on Oregonians.

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

Okay so I might not be a “Top Democratic lawmaker” but tell you what- hell no. Trans students & athletes: you are loved. You are respected. You belong on the track, field,and all the spaces to joyfully and safely compete. Let me repeat that: YOU BELONG and we will fight any efforts to change that.
