I have a neuroscientist friend likely losing NIH funding for an Alzheimer’s study because they study “a diverse cohort of brains.” As in many different kinds of brains make good science. Good luck, humanity! No more scientific progress that benefits us all, just mediocrity.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, says the National Science Foundation has given money to thousands of "Woke DEI" studies. Researchers say that's misrepresenting science and disparaging important research.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
