NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.
The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.
No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

Trump and Musk aim to push out 75% of federal employees.
NIH has a highly trained workforce to perform, review, and support science in all 50 states. This cut will decimate America’s science. Cancer research will drop to a trickle. Talented workers will leave to go abroad. 🧪 #medsky 1/

Breaking: Trump is signing an executive order intended to cut federal workforce
Order directs agencies to work with DOGE and says that after the current hiring freeze lifts, agencies will only be able to hire one new employee for every four who leave (with a few exceptions like law enforcement)

This is heartbreaking to see. My 2-year postbac at the NIH after college was a life-transforming experience that started my path to becoming a professor and researcher.
Yes. Also, NIH itself has stopped recruitment of PhD students, postbacs, and postdocs at all its campuses.
The nat'l recruitment cycle is closing, everyone will be done soon. It's already a lost year of talent coming in to do great science at NIH. Damage to 🧪 is real. (Story linked below, see 🧵.)

N.b.: Missing one round for grant submissions is one thing. But we're in the stage of the annual grad school cycle where students choose a doctoral program. U Iowa could be losing an entire year's worth of graduate students in some programs here.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
