Today, more than 10,000 people across the United States and beyond Stood Up for Science. I feel deeply humbled, inspired, and energized—our work is far from over, but witnessing so many people unite to champion science and the hope it brings is truly incredible.

Under the Trump administration, the U.S. agency that funds aid projects has faced layoffs, a stop action order for most aid efforts and a disruption of its website. Now Elon Musk says it should 'die.'
Why does Musk want USAID 'to die'? And why did its website disappear?

It's easy to hate "the government" but the government is thousands of programs that help millions of people in critical ways
Part of the confusion around the OMB funding freeze lay in the spreadsheet that was circulated with it: It named about 2,600 federal programs, a virtual copy-and-paste of how the U.S. government spends money.
