Yes, we at NIH want Dems to boycott the budget process, and refuse to do anything to help R’s, until Trump stops the crime and ends the fascist takeover.
It’s deeply pathetic that Senate Democrats are continuing to advance bipartisan funding bills while Trump unconstitutionally seizes the right to impound funds, and implements a police state.
Murphy is absolutely right on this one.

Important- if you had an illegally terminated grant that was reinstated, you might not be safe. Staff are being told that grants *may* be canceled after October 1st, 2025 if not "in line with agency priorities". POs are being muzzled and can't tell grantees directly.

The decision means that the US biomedical agency has to restore funding to hundreds of research projects, but the government will likely appeal.

This is a SIMULATION based on the transcription of Judge Young's closing statement by @maxkozlov.bsky.social .
This is voice synthesized, not a recording (which are forbidden in the courtroom).
But I wanted to try to convey the power of his statement. Even this does not do it justice.
