Thank you for this excellent, accessible, & enraging, summary of the new rule. If this doesn’t get all our science colleagues to rise up & organize active resistance to this regime, I don’t know what will. We know our university leadership has already capitulated but will this change anything there?

Ответ для Madhusudan 🦉 Katti

Enrollment at American universities is plummeting.

Trying to comment but docket doesn't show up. I can think of no scientific research project that can survive without international co-operation, professional society participation, freedom to publish and freedom to pursue ideas without censorship.

Russell Vought, King of the Incels hates the United States of America.

This fucker

🤬

Project 2025 is the dismantling of the USA. The regime is simply cashing in every day aside Voughts work. Anyone remember when Russians couldn't leave their country with flights restricted, no access to bank accounts? Hmm

Isn’t that what Germany did in the 1930’s and 1940’s?

Bought needs to be removed! He’s working diligently to bring his Project 2025 agenda to fruition.

somewhere there is a dominatrix with LOTS to know about this impacted prick.

Evil demonic Nazi.

Let's give credit where credit is due: The 77+ million people who voted for trump are destroying American science. Thousands of Republican Party officials are destroying American science. Trump is 1 psychopath & cognitively arrested guy. Vought is 1 creep. Never forget, never forgive.

This is the KKKristofascists revenge for Stokes.

The Heritage boys are some evil shit

I am so sick and tired of the Trump admin attempting to micromanage everything.

science is the enemy of fundamentalist religion which ignores the fact their god would have made ppl smart to better mankind, they hate teaching abt evolution, genetics, gender, climate change, medical advancements, vaccines, big bang theory…even to making it harder for nursing students to get loans

Vought, like trump and most of his Cabinet, want to return to what they imagine the 1870s and 1880s to have been like, but with the look of the 1950s. A gilded age with suburbs and stations wagons. A bunch of dumb fucks yearning for a non-existent past.

When the 45/47 regime cancels programs that in effect kill people, can they be charged with murder? Are they free to kill without consequence because its a “policy difference”? These discussions should be taking place now so that when this is over the process can be quick and efficient.

This is horrifying

There are errors on this analysis and to be clear: grants are legally binding contracts per SCOTUS. And EOs can be law! #RAdminSky

The one good thing about Loper-Bright is that rules like this are never going to see the light of day because they'll be tied up in administrative proceedings forever.

If scientists build a time machine, Russel Vought will be a name we never know.

And all of these changes will be scrapped as soon as this admin ends. Russell Vought is evil incarnate.

Total disrespect for those who voted to confirm his appointment. Don’t you do research before the vote? Don’t you look into a person’s history? Their previous actions? Their breadth of knowledge? Look what you’ve done. Given Trump his trove of brown nosing protectors. Shame on all of you!

Someone needs to destroy Russell Vought .

When Trump is not centered in the frame anymore, Vought and those like him in the administration will have a whole lot of legal vulnerability. And no one will step up to defend them, because they're well and widely hated and they know it.

Ответ для arknet

True. Which is why they’re exponentially hurrying the pace along. Accelerationism on steroids.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Thank you for this breakdown. If people comment on the proposed rule in the Fed. Reg., do they even consider the comments at all? I hate Vought (and all those Heritage a-holes) with every fiber of my being.

Keep the receipts for the soon upcoming Nuremberg Tribunal Trials 2.0!

Democrats. I better start seeing some anger here

What is this guy’s fucking problem?

He had a science teacher that questioned his ridiculous beliefs in high school.

This would cripple American science and create an intellectual dark age. On the other hand, several of these items are prohibitively unenforceable. How exactly are they going to regulate which societies people are members of lol He demonstrably has no clue how science works.

We are already in an intellectual dark age.

Oh, I mean, they've thrown people in jail specifically invoking "antifa" as an organization. It's much easier than you'd like to think. It's just Red Scare shit regurgitated.

Literally 1A freedom of association

The current regime is hell-bent on establishing theocracy in the US.

Of course he is.

What?! Science cannot be destroyed, but a vile human can be!

He'll try. They hate smart people.

Can Voight be charged with a crime that comes with a mandatory prison sentence? I understand he can't be impeached since he isn't a "civil official." A recurrent failure of our existing legal system is that we seem to lack a mechanism to remove someone actively destroying our country..

N

They have no idea how destructive of the US society this will be. The world will pass us by and China will be dominant. Of course, as the US falls behind and become ever more impotent, the threat of nuclear war will increase.

He is the devil.

This is horrible. It cannot succeed.

Then don’t fu€king let him!!! Stand up !

This is a complete takeover by neurodivergent bureaucrats who will steer ‘research’ to advance fascism in America.

Ответ для DebbieLynn (she/her)

Hey can you not use “neurodivergent” as an insult??

Typical of the Evangeliban.

Ответ для Hagatha the Old Biddy

Extreme xtian cult stuff. Sick.

ProPublica has done some fantastic reporting on exposing Russell Vought. He is the definition of pure evil and pulling Trump’s strings.

What You Should Know About Russ Vought, Trump’s Shadow PresidentVought is the architect of President Trump’s broader plan to fire civil servants, freeze government programs and dismantle entire agencies. Here are some key things to know about the D.C. insider who ...www.propublica.org

Why hasn’t Vought been Thrown in Prison? The Congressional Laws he’s broken are treasonous!

Vought needs to have just the biggest aneurism.

the worst human currently alive they all get their worst ideas from the cloaca of pure evil that is this troglodyte’s diseased brain

The clearest example of religion in politics.

oh, good. Put science in the hands of Evangelicals. That'll work out great.

The US is about to figure out what happens when you eat all the seed corn... Gonna be a harsh lesson

I despise anti-science pretend Christians like Vought.

It’s been what he’s been doing all along.

He’s already destroyed it. The public just doesn’t understand it yet.

Russell Vought is a deadly dangerous man, but the buck stops at the top of the food chain with 47 & those in his administration who delegated this and other “Project 25” authority to him and his ilk who are stealing our future and running US ability& reputation into the ground.

Please urge your University leaders and legislators to actively push back on this proposal. Even if only some of this is enacted, it will be bad.

Only fools reject science. The facts always win.

I would be glad if I could see portraits of certain other politicians on my timeline reduced to just their chins, ties, and shirt collars as well...

Ответ для STCmicrobeblog

President Labia-Collar has a nice ring to it.

Any information on when this would become effective?

Vought and Project 2025 have been explicit from April 2023. He is simply filling in the blanks of building a Christian Nationalist Fascist feudal state. There are more acts of destruction to come. He hates truth and he hates knowledge. He is a vile and despicable sub-human.

Back to the stone age

Russell Vought is seriously damaged goods. In a healthy society he'd be receiving mental health care.

Thanks for this, Elizabeth!

🥲he already has.

Holy smokes… there’s no end to their evil. It’s time to send them a message

@hankgreen.bsky.social @veritasium.bsky.social Please consider making some content about this to inform the public. It could mean the total dismantlement of American science.

Wheaton college alums- many of you are brilliant and ethical humans- do something about this Horrible alum! WWJD?!!!

How about we destroy Russell Vought instead. Time to get diabolical on this American Vought.

Ответ для Annika Barber

I suspect they will give this the minimum required comment timeline allowable.

Russell Vought intends to destroy America.

Also under 200.205(b)(3) - 'all else being equal the award goes to institutions with lower indirect rate.' This kind of thing should apply to procuring widgets, not important science.

He is the ugly-ass face of Satan

Absolutely sickening stuff.

Russ Vought thinks exactly like the woman in this "Jesus Camp" video. He hates science and independent thought.

Stand Up for Science!

MARK YOU CALENDAR for our EMERGENCY SCIENCE MEETING June 2nd at 4pm ET. We will be giving an overview of the rule and assigning EVERY SCIENTIST IN AMERICA their marching orders. Register at the link in our bio, or go here: zurl.co/YVcXc #Science #StandUpForScience #OMB #SaveScience #Research

Taking America back to the stone ages

At the rate we are going in regard to science and scientists (for arguments sake leaving the rest of the mess out of this post), we will not have to worry because most of the scientist and their important research will have left the US for countries not as blatantly rascist and backwards thinking.

China will be pleased...

They won't destroy science. Scientists will simply move to non-totalitarian countries. That's what happened in Nazi Germany and that's what will happen here.

We can’t let him.

When Trump is dead and gone; I hope the ire of national attention falls upon Russell Vought for his machinations to disrupt the natural order of American society and that he is punished accordingly.

Ответ для waiting74patiently

let's start now.

The people saying they can fix it. Are the F@#K#N idiots that keep breaking it. How many more times are F@#KEN IGNORANT VOTERS going to elect the worse of the worse. Thank Fox Newsmax propaganda for their ignorant viewers believing their lies. nwlc.org/russell-voug...

How many more times? Till the end of times. That's how Amerikkka ends itself. The GOAT self-own. Playing around with Iran, Russia, China etc, lol. They don't need to destroy Amerikkka, just wait. enemy is across the street, down the street, at your place of employment and in your own government.

Russell Vought running and ruining the country. Another case for the courts.

You act as if that is surprising. Russell Vought, along w/ most Fourth Great Awakening Evangelicals think science is destructive at worst, pointless at best. They believe in superstition and we give them tax breaks for it. They're the 'special' children we spoil.

Ответ для Landscape Artist in Retreat

Reporting on something doesn’t mean one is surprised.

Ответ для Landscape Artist in Retreat

I'm not surprised one bit. I knew all of this would happen. I am simply trying to get the word out to the many people who have NO IDEA THIS IS HAPPENING. I just spend the last few days at a scientific conference where people I spoke to had no idea who Vought is and think everything is fine.

So ideology is more important than science now? What has America become? It is unbelievable that 77.3 million people voted for this

Ответ для AdaBabbage

About 40% of the US believes in young Earth creationism.

Thanks for this! I'll share widely!

The Office of Management and Budget is now billing CFPB $4.7 million for Russ Vought’s security detail. 2025 and 2026. www.govexec.com/management/2...

Russ Vought bills CFPB $5M for his security detailThe expense comes as the consumer-protection agency's budget is slashed nearly in half.www.govexec.com

“White House Office of Management and Budget, which Vought oversees, is allocating $15M from what remains of USAID operating expenses to pay US. Marshals Service to protect (Vought) through the end of 2026. ”https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/02/the-project-2025-vought-usaid-security/

Ответ для marycrainne24

That’s almost half a million a month????

Ответ для marycrainne24

Enjoy the firing squad! Another hideous looking man.

Ответ для marycrainne24

If anyone does not deserve a security detail it is Vought

He is unfit and unqualified to run OMB.

There are not enough words to say how absolutely abhorrent and STUPID Russ Vought and his asinine proposed rules are.

Reminder that Vought's own daughter has CF, and they have benefitted mightily from research. Mary Vought, 2021: “Today's the day our little one starts Trifakta! Beyond grateful for this miracle drug.... We’re extremely grateful to live in a nation that leads the way on medical innovation."

Project 2025 is gutting medical funding that helped Russell Vought's own kidIts architect's daughter has cystic fibrosis—and benefits from a "miracle drug" backed by an agency he's attacking.www.motherjones.com

My livelihood is based on Federal Research Grants. Not sure why I still have a job. Russ Vought is the most uncharismatic pirate of the Trump crew. While he yields power, Trump no longer knows who he is. Republican senators all have research grants in their universities. This will not pass.

☢️

As good as this analysis is, I think the problem is even worse. The proposed rule specifically says grants AND cooperative agreements, and most of the language is broad enough to apply to all forms of federal funds

LarryLegend

This isn’t “grants” how most people think of the word. This is essentially all federal money Medicaid is a grant. All transportation $. HUD $. Etc If anything, this alarming thread is not alarmist enough @mtsw.bsky.social @dennycarter.bsky.social @davelevitan.bsky.social @donmoyn.bsky.social

Ответ для LarryLegend

yes! 100%. I focused on science grants because I am a former NIH Program Official. But Vought wants to be able to cancel ALL federal grants and cooperative agreements (and contracts) that he personally doesn't like. He is a sick man.

Their answer to truth is to bury the truth

I hope US scientists that will be affected by this put escape plans in place while they are still able to. And that grant awarding bodies elsewhere in the world help them to do their work in more welcoming places.

Russell Vought, the architect of Project 2025 and Trump's Director of OMB, literally believes the Constitution is INVALID. Vought is an "End Times" zealot who has publicly declared war on America. Read this deep dive PDF on Russell Vought mega.nz/file/lIxggSy...

Can we sue him? Class action?

P

Serious question: does this make scientists with dual citizenship ineligible for grants?

Ответ для pkatlas

Possibly. It probably will be entirely arbitrarily decided based on the country and how antagonistic that country is to the Trump regime. Skin color of the scientist will certainly be a factor too.

Does Russell work for China? The Chinese would love scientists flocking to them

I would give a lot for a Democratic Party that understood that the Heritage Foundation must be destroyed and its members' lives ruined by whatever means necessary. It would cut a lot of this fascist destruction off before it even got going.

And his name is "Vought"???

No he’s not- Keep suing and winning!

Remember he is a primary author of Project 2025 - the plan to entrench a fascist oligarchy and undermine the currently more Democratic norms in the US. A system much more like the way the pre-civil war South was ruled.

The science that saved his daughter's life !

Europe and China are courting these scientists and winning. Well done America

Ответ для Et Tu Brutus

They'll hire a few stars but Europe does not have enough funding in science to make a serious push on US talent. And I don't think that too many US scientists want to live in China. Worldwide science will suffer with the very good but not star level in the US getting hit hard.

Meanwhile

Yes he is. It’s part of project 2025. That is why none of the assholes give a shit about what Trump does. He is allowing them to bring project 2025 to fruition. They must be stopped or the rights of women and minorities will be decimated.

Ответ для Allison

I would add that trump does follow instructions. ICE, chaos in the middle east, taking over the continent, the bunker/ballroom. These are all project 2025. The guilded shit, his name on everything, retrobution, distraction: that's all trump. Credit where it's due, he's a great frontman.🤷🏽‍♂️

Red Air Dancer Waving ArmsALT: Red Air Dancer Waving Armsstatic.klipy.com

Science gave this man’s daughter the ability to live with what was otherwise a debilitating and life shortening disease. So of course his response is to destroy the infrastructure that made such therapies possible. It’s almost comically evil.

👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

Who needs science when you have The Lord?

He is an evil piece of shit.

Oh. My. Gosh. This absolutely will not work. There’s no way I would work under this kind of management.
