To expand on this, right now ~200 postdoc fellows directly funded by NSF are locked out of their salary &research funds right before the first of the month. No doubt other NSF funded grads &postdocs are affected as well. All requests for funds put in before the freeze are slowly being cancelled
As of now, NSF does not appear to be changing course at all given the temporary restraining order or the rescission of the memo. I can't help but feel that the NSF director is failing us and his handling of this is indefensible. new.nsf.gov/executive-or...

I’m cool with RDC in real life and do NOT think Drake should’ve named them in his suit - ESPECIALLY given that parody/skits are CLEAR forms of protected speech under the First A and courts give a lot of grace and latitude for it!

“The climate crisis that is coming our way is not just about polar bears, and it’s not just about green jobs,” Mr. Whitehouse said. “It actually is coming through your mail slot, in the form of insurance cancellations, insurance nonrenewals and dramatic increases in insurance costs.” Gift link:
Insurers Are Dropping Homeowners as Climate Shocks Worsen (Gift Article)
Without insurance, it’s impossible to get a mortgage; without a mortgage, most Americans can’t buy a home.
