Remember how shaking down law firms to bring them under the authoritarian regime was in Project 2025? Yeah.

No. That wasn't in Project 2025. Neither were the NIH grant cuts. Or the grant terminations.

What Trump&Musk are doing now is MUCH WORSE than Project 2025 described. 🧪

Just heard the same from a friend at NIH who has a job…for now…
From a source at NIH:

“Right now NIH’s ability to buy things is dead. Nearly all people with the power to make an order — purchasing people — have been removed.
The NIH hospital can’t buy medicines, the labs can’t buy petri dishes. X-Ray machine breaks? Too bad.
Everything is stopped”

I just called my reps to Save NIH and NSF Research Funding — you should too: 5calls.org/issue/nih-ns...

This can waste our prior investments in research. Say you have a ten-year grant and are in year 8. If you can't finish the research, the investment the taxpayer made for seven years is wasted!
