Man, yall. What a headline. I’m still not processing this. I beat the Washington Post (management, that is). Sometimes, justice prevails! Piece by @sonelcutler.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The NYT has numbers on the cuts at the Dept of Education. Almost 800 people have been cut at Federal Student Aid. That's a lot larger than I expected. And IES has been gutted.

SCOOP: The NIH is moving to prohibit funded scientists, inside and outside the agency, from collecting data about gender, according to a draft policy I obtained. It’s part of the NIH’s aggressive crackdown on gender-identity research. www.chronicle.com/article/gend...

Gender Data Would Be Off-Limits Under Proposed NIH Policy
A draft rule would bar scientists funded by the agency from collecting data about gender identity, following other steps the administration has taken to restrict research on LGBT topics.
