“Long considered “the crown jewel” of the federal government, NIH has
funded research that has led to more than 100 Nobel Prizes, and has supported more than 99 percent
of approved drugs…”

Suit here against grant terminations, saying NIH can’t just terminate grants arbitrarily.

🚨🚨 Here we go! 🚨🚨

@protectdemocracy.org, @cspi.bsky.social, and @aclu.org have sued RFK and his cronies at HHS to halt illegal grant terminations.

Today we honor civil rights leader Cesar Chavez by pledging to organize for a better tomorrow. We also honor all of the activists who seek to empower their communities for a stronger future, and lift up voices of directly impacted communities.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.
I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

Listened to @raskin.house.gov town hall tonight. I am so grateful for his leadership. He is fighting for the American people and our democracy. His faith in our Constitution was contagious. He gave me hope.

The Trump administration is still blocking grant money for climate and clean energy projects that has already been allocated. It's ignoring court orders that explicitly forbid it from doing so. So what's next? www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
EPA spending freeze continues despite court orders
Two judges have ordered the administration to lift the freeze. But nonprofits and states still can't get money for contracts backed by the Inflation Reduction Act.
