As the Senate considers voting to approve Trump's devastating funding cuts to public broadcasting, listen to the words of LeVar Burton.

The Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

Contact your senators today and urge them to oppose these cuts.

For diversity to science to foreign policy, Trump has moved aggressively to reopen long-settled issues and dismantle long-established institutions. At times, it seems like he's trying to repeal much of the 20th century. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/13/u...

Yesterday's Supreme Court decision on nationwide injunctions is one of the worst of 2025 so far.

Yet, these tools still exist:

1️⃣ More class-action lawsuits
2️⃣ More plaintiffs joining
3️⃣ Faster final judgements on the merits
4️⃣ Arguments about "complete relief"

🧵 Using science funding as example...

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University.

That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...
Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosis
Detection of cancer before a clinical diagnosis could give patients and caregivers more time for intervention and may lead to better outcomes because tumors are more likely to be curable

2/ At a high level:

The overall budget level ($9B --> $4B) has not been this low since 1983, adjusted for inflation.

What's new today:

⚖️ Attempting to close programs mandated by law

🐘 Even hurting red, historically underfunded states

📚 75% slash to STEM ed

👩‍🔬 Harms to early-career

6/ There are steep 75% proposed cuts to NSF's STEM eduction funding as a whole, which spans K-12 to undergrad to grad to workforce and beyond.

Early-career scientists will be directly harmed. The request guts direct NSF support for 29,000 undergraduates and 29,000 graduate students.
Postdoctoral Associates 5,500 --> 1,000 Graduate Students 41,500 --> 12,400 Undergraduate Students 37,300 --> 8,000
