If blue states, invented a method to withhold transfers to the IRS, we'd be in a much better negotiating position. Moneys transferred could be ( for instance ;-) dependent on payments made and programs continued, records maintained and aid distributed.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

The DOGE executive order hides it inside the U.S. Digital Service to avoid advisory commission rules. It also gives Elon access to every unclassified record in the federal government. My latest in our Executive Action Reaction roundup:

Interesting research in New Scientist on cognitive impairment in astronauts on long duration space missions… I wonder if it’s anything to do with the noise, poor sleep etc. that some astronauts report? Probably of interest to @weinersmith.bsky.social and @zachweinersmith.bsky.social 🧪🔭

Congrats to @bluesky for all the new users
My 2 cents. Find every news source the has an RSS feed or equivalent and create accounts that that show their public deeds on here under @johndoetimesfeed
That way we all get access to news without having to wait for them to create accounts first.
