Hey PA folks, Fetterman's office now has a form where you can report on how your grants are being impacted. Let him know about your paused council, paused reviews, paused NOAs, etc!

PS, This link is from his 'Fetterletter' but I don't see it on his site. YMMV!

The super fucked up thing here is: If Cassidy thinks Kennedy requires this kind of oversight, why did he vote for him? And what kind of accountability does Cassidy have that ensures that Kennedy keeps these promises?

Go to the CDC website now enter any of these words:
- lgbtq
- transgender
- diversity
- equity
Most of the links w important resources which we use daily to guide care and prioritize interventions for vulnerable populations are currently broken or removed. This erasure will harm. Do not look away.

Yesterday President Trump announced a pause on all federal grant disbursals. While it is a bit vague on details, it appears to include research grants. This would be devastating to American science. If you have not had a chance, call your Senators & Reps πŸ§ͺ
