Same with Vanderbilt in TN, affected by NIH grant cancellations. A lot of the state relies on their medical facilities/staff.

NIH research continues to be gutted, and we are losing the next generation of scientists. When this is finished, it will be difficult to pick up the pieces and still have the NIH as the jewel of basic research in the whole world. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

My lab at the Nashville Stand Up for Science demonstration. We, as well as many other scientists at Vanderbilt and many institutions around the country are having to consider laying off lab members and slow down the progress of our research on Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

While the current administration slaps tariffs down as a way to "combat fentanyl" from entering the US, the Musker is cancelling funding at the NIH for cancer research. It should be noted that 87,000 people died from fentanyl in 2024 vs 611,000 from cancer....🤬

www.science.org/content/blog... "the CIA has apparently sent a buyout offer to its entire workforce in what looks like an attempt to gut the agency. And the entire Department of Education is said to be targeted for attempted abolishment by Executive Order.

Article I says Congress makes laws and has power of the purse. Article II requires POTUS to faithfully execute laws. Refusing to execute laws so he can usurp Congress’s budgetary authority is unconstitutional. A self-respecting Congress would do a veto-proof resolution, and if necessary, impeach.

So pushback works. Much of the funding from the Inflation Reduction Act is being spent in Republican states. So I assume lots of people contacted him. So let's contact our congresspeople! bsky.app/profile/ener...

I called my Congressional rep about this. Even though I'm in a blue district, I urged higher priority on it in the name of public health.

Yes, and Dems on the Hill should be lighting this up.

As this "pause" hits you and your project, institution, workplace, etc: TELL SOMEONE ABOUT IT. Contact your MoC, esp if they're a Dem. Contact a relevant advocacy group. Contact the press, local, regional, movement, trade - and not just for an LtE, for a story. Tell real life stories of harm.

To play this out, there will be literally dozens of lawsuits challenging what OMB is doing on the ground that it violates the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. Trump’s DOJ will argue that the Act is unconstitutional. And this will quickly get to #SCOTUS, where it will be the biggest case of the term.
