For the serious policy wonks.
The White House released an amended version of OMB Circular A-11.
www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...
I have NOT been through this (it'a ~1000 pages) but I understand it asserts more authority to not spend appropriated funds.
This is relevant to the FY 2027 budget.

Today, little kids at Annunciation Catholic School were forced into a club that no child should ever join. It’s a fucked up club, and it’s growing because our so-called leaders refuse to act.

🧪 Senate appropriators say: NIH's budget gets a... boost!
Rather than 40% cut, NIH gets a $400M *increase* in the Senate committee bill for FY26 (about +1%).
"Congress has your back," said @murray.senate.gov.
ADVOCACY MATTERS! There's still a long road (esp in the House), so keep up pressure.

Not every decision requires an RCT (and no RCT is infinitely generalizable).
Scientists would do well to incorporate power and wealth and their agendas into their thinking about scientific progress. Science is political by its nature, but for pro-democracy parties, it should not be partisan.

6. That’s the dynamic I see it here.
To what degree should corporations be liable for harms that they cause as judged by the best available science and a consensus among experts?
If I can’t sue Philip Morris for selling cigarettes to kids without a double blind trial to prove harm, we are sunk.
