Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called the lack of healthy food options on Native reservations a “genocide.” But the Trump administration ended a program that helped provide fresh, locally produced food for tribal food banks, saying the program no longer aligned with its priorities.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.
 quote on a dark blue and purple background from Sudip S. Parikh, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), criticizing proposed cuts to science funding in the FY26 U.S. federal budget. The quote reads:

“If enacted, the FY26 budget request would end America’s global scientific leadership. The cuts to science would imperil our nation’s future health, security and prosperity. This budget proposal stands in stark contrast to the President’s call for a renewed commitment to American scientific leadership. Congress has demonstrated a bipartisan commitment to investment in research and must do so again to answer the President’s call.”
The quote is attributed to Sudip S. Parikh, CEO of AAAS and Executive Publisher of the Science family of journals. The AAAS logo appears at the bottom right.

BREAKING #WITAOD NEWS: Judge Chutkan DENIES the government's motion to dismiss in State of New Mexico v. Musk. The suit alleges that Musk, as the leader of DOGE, exercises unchecked power in violation of the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
President Trump created the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency Service
("DOGE") and U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization by Executive Order on January 20, 2025. Exec. Order No. 14,158, 90 Fed. Reg. 8441 (Jan. 20, 2025) ("DOGE EO" or "DOGE Executive Order'). Since then, several federal agencies have been dismantled, thousands of federal employees have been terminated or placed on leave, sensitive data has been haphazardly
accessed, edited, and disclosed, and federal grants and contracts have been frozen or terminated.
Plaintiffs allege that DOGE and its leader, Elon Musk, are behind these actions.
Fourteen states, represented by their Attorneys General, sued Musk, DOGE, U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, and President Trump, alleging violations of the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution, U.S. Const., Art. II, § 2, cl. 2, and conduct in excess of statutory
authority. Compl. 11 253-72, ECF No. 2. Defendants move to dismiss for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) and failure to state a claim under
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Defs' Mem. of L. in Supp. of Mot. to Dismiss at 6,
ECF No. 58 ("MTD"). For the following reasons, the court will DENY Defendants' motion as to Musk, DOGE, and DOGE Service Temporary Organization, and GRANT Defendants' motion
as to President Trump.
