I've gone ahead and posted my comment on the OMB rule as an example of a hyper-focused comment that looks at one portion of the OMB rule. Here, I've tackled a part of the Rule I know a lot about (international research and national security) and cross-walked with a project I've worked on a lot.

A proposed OMB rule would allow political appointees to override scientific peer review when making federal research funding decisions. For ECRS, this isn’t abstract. It affects training, jobs, and future discoveries. Read more ⬇️ sciencepolitics.org/2026/06/05/w... From us @snapcoalition.org
