The Trump Administration’s cuts at Health and Human Services hit every part of the scientific establishment: not only the federal government and universities but also states, counties, cities, and the private sector.
“I Am Seeing My Community of Researchers Decimated”
Across the country, the Trump Administration’s assault on public institutions and its cuts to government funding are forcing scientists to abandon their work and the patients who benefit from it.

Until earlier this morning, I worked for NIOSH. The whole Institute was gutted. 873 employees. All of Occupational Safety and Health research cut. Devastating.

Concerning NIOSH: I worked in miner safety & hygiene for years. Every piece of respiratory protection equipment that we put into service required NIOSH approval as a starting point. I’m talking about silicosis & mesothelioma prevention - serious stuff. NIOSH approval is the gold standard.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.
This Friday, where will you be?

At Trump’s behest, Republicans are fielding Medicaid cuts in the range of hundreds of billions of dollars. The change in income limits that determine eligibility, which already vary by state, could place millions at risk of losing health care.
Trump's Medicaid cuts would leave millions without health care
The human cost will be brutal—unless a few Republicans develop spines.

From a crude markets perspective, this is a catastrophe for the pharmaceuticals industry (combined market cap: $1.88trn) and biotech industry (combined market cap: $1.32trn). Five alarm fire, "everything we depend on to create value is being dumped down a sewer", catastrophe.
8. It is difficult to overstate what a catastrophe this will be for the US research and education systems, particular in biomedical fields.
It is deliberate and wanton devastation entirely out of scale with any concern about DEI activities on campuses.
The goal is destroy US universities.

At least some good news! Grantmaking at the NIH has begun to move again after a 2-week standstill. Peer-review meetings and grant reviews have resume, but restrictions on public speaking & travel remain. Some relief, but "normal" is still distant. 🔬🧪🧬 #NIH #ResearchFunding #SciComm

Horrifying!
Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

The Trump administration blamed the dismantling of USAID on its workers’ high levels of “insubordination.” Nothing like gaslighting America.
