10/ And to reiterate a key point:
CONGRESS 👏 SETS 👏 BUDGET 👏 LEVELS
Today's update is called a **request** for a reason.
And Congress should reject it. History provides optimism:

So: In 2017, Congress made this happen:
NIH: Proposed 22% cut --> 9% increase
NSF: Proposed 11% cut --> 4% increase
NOAA: Proposed 16% cut --> 4% increase
Obviously, 2025 is not 2017. A lot is diff now. But still:
💰 Congress, not WH, sets budgets.
📞 Public support & calls to Congress matter.

6/ There are steep 75% proposed cuts to NSF's STEM eduction funding as a whole, which spans K-12 to undergrad to grad to workforce and beyond.
Early-career scientists will be directly harmed. The request guts direct NSF support for 29,000 undergraduates and 29,000 graduate students.

3/ Programs to broaden participation in STEM have been burned, including ones **mandated** by law.

-LSAMP & HSI (law: uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?r... )
Yet, $0 is requested for those.

2/ At a high level:
The overall budget level ($9B --> $4B) has not been this low since 1983, adjusted for inflation.
What's new today:
⚖️ Attempting to close programs mandated by law
🐘 Even hurting red, historically underfunded states
📚 75% slash to STEM ed
👩🔬 Harms to early-career

2/ It’s painful watching Trump and his cronies light fires they don’t understand, then strut through the ashes like they’ve done something clever.
But today’s MMWR on RSV interventions? That’s what real impact looks like.
