Trump corrupted America's most innovative institution, the National Science Foundation, by stealing $1.4B mandated by Congress for research. Now that funding is being withheld against Congress’s wishes. Similar moves are being made across scientific agencies.

If these people have done enough research to know what will affect their perfect babies, then I GUARANTEE they also know mass vax is necessary for herd immunity, which protects their kids. But they opt out anyway.

Is it selfish? You're damn right it is.

Admin tactic: If you don't like something the federal government is supposed to do, just slow-walk it until it no longer functions.

Just so pathetic. One after the other, Trump nominated people to the most important positions solely because they’re sycophantic cultists who refuse to even say he is wrong about something that impacts public health even when they know he is. This is a nightmare for America. bsky.app/profile/atru...
OMG -- under questioning from Hassan, Trump's FDA nominee Heidi Overton refuses to acknowledge that Trump can ever be wrong about anything even after she's confronted with a specific example of something Trump is clearly wrong about

Did I mention pushback works?

However, there are still ways for the admin to block research it doesn't like, or grants to universities it doesn't like - it just slow-walks disbursement of $ until it's too late.

White House plan to increase control of NIH grants appears 'dead'
A planned EO that would have greatly enhanced White House influence over grants at the NIH is “looking dead,” a source said.

🎯💯👇🏼 #StandUpForScience Be loud! Be present! 🔥
The immediate threat of the EO seems to have passed, but the greater attack on science by this administration is almost certainly not over. Some good thoughts on what we should be doing.

I would add: get organized. Build connections and community. Many voices are louder than one.
If you missed it...

My long-form thoughts on ongoing efforts by the administration to issue an executive order that would deliver veto power over grants to OMB Director Vought:

On White House Efforts to Seize Control of NIH Funding"
