“It’s very analogous to all the other things we’re seeing,” says the author of a 2023 report on the state of federal parks in the city. “The federal government is not set up to run the city of Washington, D.C.”
Trump says he wants to make D.C. parks great again. That might be harder than he thinks
Residents say the federal government has long created more problems than solutions for the city’s green spaces.

Rather than 40% cut, NIH gets a $400M *increase* in the Senate committee bill for FY26 (about +1%).
