I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

There is no such fucking thing as being “too woman” to pilot a helicopter, “too gay” to land a plane or “too black” to be an air traffic controller.
There is however, such a thing as being too hateful, too stupid & too sociopathic to be president.
And we call that Donald Trump.

This pretty clearly seems to apply not only to research money, but to college financial aid funds administered by colleges vs "distributed DIRECTLY to individuals"
Also, not even a sop to law or Congressional directives behind the programs. Just, pure Presidential authority.

Oh my god. Its real (Id seen chatter). OMB imposes a TOTAL halt on federal grants and loans, including disbursements on already awarded grants, and cancels all announcements of opportunity and such.
In the future, "ALL" grants and awards at agencies must be approved by "a political appointee"

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.
Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

Call at least one Congressional Republican’s office every weekday and urge them not to confirm Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard or Cash Patel…OR, ask how they can justify Trump’s J6 pardons. (“Is someone missing a spine?”) Flood the phone lines everyday. You’ll feel better for having made the effort. ✊🏼
