NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned.

The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.
