Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on & daring the world to stop them. On April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to say: Hands Off! #HandsOff #April5

Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE.

The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.

A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

Again, this isn't about efficiency.

"US President Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to science and to international institutions. The global research community must take a stand... These are unacceptable attacks on people’s rights and on academic freedom. They will halt, if not reverse, decades of progress in scientific research"

Gutting Alzheimer's research.

Very grateful to our @scripps.edu President/CEO Pete Schultz, for this OpEd in @sandiegouniontribune.com on the key importance of research institutions in U.S. biomedical science and how federal support is critical to fuel new discoveries and medicines.

Opinion: Science funding cuts are based on flawed logic. Here’s the truth.
Earlier this month, the National Institutes of Health issued supplemental guidance indicating it would immediately impose a 15% cap on indirect costs for research grants, an unprecedented and abrup…

The Trump administration just delayed a key CDC vaccine advisory meeting—originally scheduled for Feb. 26-28. The excuse? Needing more time for public comment. The reality? A troubling move that could weaken science-based vaccine policy.

The panel of vaccine experts were supposed to hold their first meeting under the Trump administration in late February. It's not clear when that meeting will now take place.

Already bruised by the Trump administration’s first round of firings of federal workers, employees at NIH faced more bad news. NIH’s 27 institute directors were told this week that the agency must cut staffing back to 2019 levels, or at least 10% below its 2024 tally. scim.ag/3EP8gjy
