That matches the total number of grants during the entirety of the first Trump administration. And both of those totals dwarf the *four* grants of relief (two each) during the Bush & Obama admins. 791623691

Ramankhutu @ramankhutu.bsky.social · 18/09/2026As someone who teaches a lot of calculus-based math, I think the public does not have a good understanding of most rates of change.
