🧪Have a terminated NSF grant? Or been impacted by such a termination? Call your Senators, esp if they're Repub!!

An amendment to restore killed NSF grants will later be debated on the *full Senate* floor, after it narrowly failed in committee today.

Senate panel raises hopes that NSF will restore killed grants
Republicans promise to work with Democrats to salvage defeated amendment

Another rotation around the sun, and all I can say is Thank You Lord for All You’ve Done For Me! I have a praise on my heart, a smile on my face, and a fire shut up in my bones! I got a special pre-birthday surprise but can’t share it yet…. #IYKYK

Motherdear, you’re the real MVP of the day!

🧪 Russ Vought, a Project 2025 architect, is currently withholding $2.5 billion from NSF's budget for this year.

This move is:

-Illegally secretive
-Unusual and suspect
-Disrupts science
-Subverts Congress

It's also urgent because the *fiscal* year ends Sept 30 (call your rep).

🧵 Let's unpack...

This is the energy we all need to have, I echo @drtrmorton.bsky.social that we need boots on the ground!

I’ll spare my musings but I believe boots on the ground has multiple meanings.

Thank you @tennesseelookout.com for including my thoughts in your recent article on Federal Grant cancellations that impact the state of #Tennessee

We need more local reports of the federal impact to show that these cuts impact everyone!

See what research at Tennessee universities was defunded in Trump’s federal grant cuts • Tennessee Lookout
Among the federally funded grants at Tennessee universities terminated by the Trump administration is one for rural mental health programs.
