Last week: Both NIH grants that support the Harvard/MIT MD-PhD Program were terminated as part of a broader attempt by the federal government to terminate direct NIH funding to Harvard Medical School. 32 students who spent countless hours applying for and earning fellowships saw their awards vanish.

The Texas Observer · I Came from Rural Texas to Harvard’s MD-PhD program. Now, Trump Defunded that Program.These decisions affect not just the archetypal Ivy League student many imagine—they affect people who grew up in places like Lindale.

Mr. TACO must think the #nationalguard are plastic army figures, and the #usa is a playground to send them to for made up reasons.

He acts like a child. Who names a place that's torture to be at #aligatoralcatraz? They name things like children, other things like "Big Beautiful Bill". #doge also comes to mind.

It's proof that they are VERY immature, and should have never been in power. #trump and all of #maga included.

They'll believe anything just like Mr. TACO is daddy.

#NWS has received permission to hire 450 #meteorologists, #hydrologists and radar technicians just months after being hit hard by DOGE related cuts and early retirement incentives.
The new hiring number includes 126 new positions that were previously approved and will apply to “front-line mission critical” personnel, a #NOAA official told CNN.

The decision cleared the way for teams put in place this year by #Musk to reclaim “high-level IT access” to govt databases, Judge Julius Richardson wrote, over the objections of a number of #labor #unions who had sued, arguing the move violated federal #privacy laws.

…Richardson said the…case mirrored those in a lawsuit involving #data that #SCOTUS weighed as an #emergency application….In that case, SCOTUS…allowed #DOGE to continue sifting through the records “in order…to do their work.”

A federal appeals court on Tuesday allowed teams affiliated with #DOGE to gain #access to potentially sensitive #data on millions of Americans, overruling a lower court that had blocked that access in Feb.

By a 2-1 vote, a 3-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for the #FourthCircuit granted the access to data stored at the #Treasury Dept, the #Education Dept & the Office of Personnel Management [#OPM], citing the June #SocialSecurity #SCOTUS decision.
