#AltCitizen Ruth L. Kirschstein left an indelible mark on the National Institutes of Health. She served as NIGMS Director, NIH Principal Deputy Director, and Acting NIH Director (twice). Her advocacy for the training of future scientists led to Congress renaming training awards in her honor.

BREAKING: Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, issues a TRO blocking Kari Lake from shutting down Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty "with one sentence of reasoning offering virtually no explanation" — "even if the President has told them to do so." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![I. CONCLUSION
Congress has found that "it is the policy of the United States to promote the right of
freedom of opinion and expression" and that "open communication of information and ideas
among the peoples of the world contributes to international peace and stability." International
Broadcasting Act of 1973, 87 Stat. at 457. RFE/RL has, for decades, operated as one of the organizations that Congress has statutorily designated to carry out this policy. The leadership of
USAGM cannot, with one sentence of reasoning offering virtually no explanation, force RFE/RL
to shut down even if the President has told them to do so.
Therefore, upon consideration of the plaintiff's Motion [ECF No. 6] for a Temporary
Restraining Order, the defendants' Opposition thereto, the plaintiff's Reply, and the entire record
herein, it is hereby
ORDERED that the plaintiff's Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order is GRANTED;
and it is further
ORDERED that the portion of the plaintiff's TRO motion seeking disbursement of
$7,464,559 for the March 1-14 period of performance is now MOOT given the defendants' notice
of disbursement initiation for that outstanding amount; and it is further
ORDERED that the defendants and their agents take no steps and impose no obligations
relating to closing out the plaintiff's grant; and it is further](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreieuybzygl3y6a2dwm73la7bbebo446vkpxfp4nyhupfci6iqc6fuy@jpeg)
