If you haven't seen Jack Smith's interview with NYU law professor Andrew Weissmann, I highly recommend it.

The last sentence in this post has been true since Reagan.
You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

Corporations are clearly making the calculation that temporarily obeying Trump is the better option because they won’t face any punishment from future Democratic Governments.

Hey members of ICE. This is on you too. Each member of ICE including trainers and support staff made this possible.
A hunger strike at a South Florida immigration detention center state officials have named “Alligator Alcatraz” enters its tenth day, as detainees protest what they call inhumane and dangerous living conditions.

Whatever case there is for multi-year funding, but it will defund many labs: "A payline under 5% means it's not worth my time to apply. My lab will close down, and I'll stop doing research."
The worry is that they want to free up future funds to redirect toward RFK approved alternative science.
