NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects on gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics. At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, NIH staff tell me. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Its gonna get a lot harder to fund disability research. It was ALREADY hard. I hope donors come out of the woodwork. It is so exhausting to be hyperaware of pervasive equity gaps. Over and over disabled academics and allies are denied the resources they need to close those gaps

❗️Great news! The judge presiding over our case - National Council of Nonprofits et al vs. Office of Management and Budget - GRANTED another Temporary Restraining Order against the admin’s ability to broadly halt federal grants and loans!! The DOJ’s motion to dismiss was DENIED.

This is an excellent summary of Musk’s takeover of the Treasury from @NYMag’s @chasdanner, with quotes from WSJ, NYT, WaPo, and my op-ed from @MSNBC yesterday. But this quote from @smotus is right on the money. This isn’t efficiency. It’s a coup. nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…

“Malicious compliance” is the term Trump supporters have started to use for the unintended or unpopular consequences of the administration’s aggressively chaotic and ill-intentioned management of the federal government.
So the order doesn't say to shut down the Medicaid portals. That gives us two options: 1) A bureaucrat engaged in malicious compliance shutting down government portals, or 2) Dems airing baseless rumors and whipping up a frenzy ahead of a White House briefing.

Trump is holding all the nation’s hospitals and vital services hostage to seize power from Congress and hand it over to billionaires. We must state the truth: this is a constitutional crisis. It’s a massive, illegal power grab that the House and Senate have a sworn duty to stop.

Senators’ phones have been ringing off the hook with nonstop calls from hospitals, police departments, volunteer firefighters, food pantries, drug treatment centers, on and on and on. Americans are in panic mode trying to figure out how Trump’s lawless, destructive, cruel order to halt virtually all federal assistance affects them. If a Senator is going to say they’re getting no calls, then they’re just out of touch because it affects almost everything. If Trump doesn’t rescind it, Congress must act.

❗️BREAKING: We're filing a Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to block the White House Office of Management and Budget from pausing all federal agency grants and loans. National Council of Nonprofits is filing together with public health and small business leaders, represented in court by Democracy Forward. This reckless action by the administration would be catastrophic for nonprofit organizations and the people and communities they serve. From pausing research on cures for childhood cancer to halting housing and food assistance, shuttering domestic violence and homeless shelters, and closing suicide hotlines, the impact of even a short pause in funding could be devastating and cost lives. This order must be halted immediately before such avoidable harm is done.

Replying to @carlylogan26
A faculty member on leave for a fellowship with the DOE was told Friday all fellowship funding is cut effective 1/31. Funding that was fully in place through 8/15/25. Full time staff was immediately put on leave.

"Deny, deny, deny. That's how you hit your numbers." Read @propublica's seminal series on how insurance giants like United and Cigna systematically, cruelly—and very, very profitably—deny health coverage every day, at the expense of patients' lives. propublica.org/series/uncove…
