This shld be a much bigger story
Can confirm this is the case at NIH 🧪🦠
From a source at NIH:

“Right now NIH’s ability to buy things is dead. Nearly all people with the power to make an order — purchasing people — have been removed.
The NIH hospital can’t buy medicines, the labs can’t buy petri dishes. X-Ray machine breaks? Too bad.
Everything is stopped”

The second Trump administration is playing out exactly the way that Trump and his allies promised it would. It is chaotic and painful and cruel.
How Did America Not See This Apocalypse Coming?
Trump is doing what he promised on the campaign trail: wreaking economic havoc on America and destroying the rules-based international order. Voters chose him anyway.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.

There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.

The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt.

If court orders are being ignored, we’re having that constitutional crisis that everyone’s been worried about.

We’re there, folks.
