Serious props to Marisa here who had this before anyone else I think.
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."

Here is a call script to urge your State Congress members to act against President Trump’s actions potentially violating the Impoundment Control Act:
Hello, [Representative/Senator’s Name],
Find your members of Congress using your address
www.congress.gov/members/find...
Hello, [Representative/Senator’s Name],
Find your members of Congress using your address
www.congress.gov/members/find...
![My name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, State]. I’m calling to express my deep concern about President Trump’s recent executive orders directing federal agencies to withhold congressionally appropriated funds. These actions appear to violate the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 and undermine the Constitution’s separation of powers.
I urge you to take all necessary steps to investigate these actions, ensure transparency, and demand the release of improperly withheld funds. Please stand up for Congress’s power of the purse and protect our democracy.
Thank you for your time.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gph7oe57wbgb4cymr2iv276y/bafkreifnqbbaj6tas5dsxljkkgqibajunq57hb3g3g3vttmyrx3n2h4i2y@jpeg)

Just found out why my weekly Morbidity & Mortality newsletter from the CDC hadn’t arrived since January 16.
This is ridiculous and super scary!

Kamala Harris: NO NEW TAXES on anyone earning under $400,000.
Trump: HIGHER TAXES on everyone earning under $360,000.
See the difference? 👀

Makes perfect sense to discontinue medical research right after a global pandemic that killed millions. This is the kind of strategic thinking we need!
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
