Buried lede: among those speaking out against this is Gregory Baylor, senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, a major conservative Christian legal group: “The government shouldn’t punish people who pursue socially valuable callings just because in its judgment they don’t earn enough money.”

Trump officials are drafting an executive order that would give the White House control over NIH grants. This would allow Trump to reject research projects that do not align with his political agenda. Making health research political isn't just stupid - it could be deadly.

ACLU of Northern California @aclu-norcal.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
The National Institutes of Health, the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research, is allowing political ideology to override scientific expertise in determining which projects receive federal funding. This is censorship and we sued to stop it.
A quote from ACLU NorCal attorney Grayce Zelphin that reads, “The Trump administration is unlawfully penalizing scientists because their research does not support the government’s preferred viewpoint on issues such as race and gender. The NIH’s new policies, which are essentially a political litmus test, violate the First Amendment, undermine science and education, and have cost universities tens of millions of dollars in cancelled grants.”

I have a trade deficit with woman who used to own my house. I paid her thousands of dollars for her home and she paid me nothing. Now, all I have is a house worth thousand of dollars. I could have saved those thousands of dollars if I lived on a bench in the park. It's just simple Economics.

#Denmark built so much wind that some blustery hours the turbines out-produce what the whole country is using. When that happens, the extra power doesn’t sit idle. It moves through Denmark’s links into the wider European network and heads to neighbors like Germany, Norway, Sweden. #ActOnClimate

Don't let anyone tell you tax cuts for the rich cost nothing. The less revenue we collect, the more the deficit runs up. The more the deficit we run up, the more Republicans will threaten Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security Tax cuts for the rich are the real Ponzi scheme.

Social Security Works @socialsecurityworks.org · 01/09/2026
We can afford to protect and even expand Social Security benefits if we make the wealthiest among us pay in at the same rate as the rest of us. Scrapping the cap is a fair, common-sense solution to guaranteeing Social Security's future. @warrengunnels.bsky.social
A post from Warren Gunnels (@GunnelsWarren). The text says, "If Bernie’s Social Security bill is signed into law, Social Security would be solvent for 75 years, benefits would go up by $2,400, 91% of Americans would not pay a penny more in taxes and the wealthy would finally pay their fair share by scrapping the cap on all taxable income." His post is a quote reply to NBC News's post that says, "Social Security benefits will be cut for tens of millions of retirees in late 2032, unless Congress takes action first."
