The intense racial and gender segregation of science funding will be even more pronounced going forward. This was always the intent.
"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.
Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3

That there were people cheering on the DOGE cuts because they thought the government would send them a $500 check from all the money saved firing scientists and park rangers is quite sad to me.

A presidential effort to revoke Harvard University's tax-exempt status could run up against a number of challenges, including violating federal law.

"The larger dynamic is that Trump isn’t merely pushing to redefine the boundaries of the law or even the Constitution," Jonathan Chait writes. "He is rejecting the principle that the law constrains him at all."
The Governor Who Stood up to Trump
The president sees himself as national king, and every other American—including Maine Governor Janet Mills—as one of his quavering subjects.
