"Well, it's foundation money."
Well, yes.
Also Paul Newton says SCill is expecting a $10M grant from the NEH soon.
I don't know for how many years.
Ba-dum-dum.
Nate Cavanaugh and Justin Fox should take a look.

The arrogance of these two young men deciding they know better than career #NEH program officers, accredited scholars, and extensive content review. And the outrage of an administration supposed to represent ALL Americans issuing an EO eliminating and erasing scholarship of selected targeted groups.
Wow. The injustice to #NEH has gone viral. This makes me feel so seen.
After #DOGE Deposition Videos Go Viral, Judge Orders Them Taken Down www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/n...
New York Times report on order to take down videos of DOGE employees who targeted allegedly "DEI" grants at the NEH. #GiftLink #NEH #ACLS www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/n...
"You have two people [from #DOGE] who have no background in the humanities whatsoever...and they’re the ones who do the cancellations."
Meanwhile, the majority of National Endowment for the Humanities staff - who had deep knowledge of these fields - were laid off. #NEH
NOT 'DEI' grants. Competitive, expert-reviewed public programs funded by Congress because "Democracy demands wisdom and vision in its citizens" and therefore education via arts and the humanities "make people of all backgrounds... masters of their technology and not its unthinking servants." #NEH
We are hopeful the plaintiffs will prevail in the case and that all cancelled grants, which were authorized by congress during the Biden administration, are restored. Thank you for following the #NEH case and supporting those of us who had these grants illegally taken away /14 of 14

If you want the clearest articulation of DOGE’s actions at #NEH, click on “view the motion” to read the motion for summary judgement. It details the misuse of DEI to undermine first amendment rights & equal protection, & how DOGE unconstitutionally made terminations.

All of the cancelled #neh grants should be reinstated immediately.
The small, independent agency burned down by Nate Cavanaugh and Justin Fox is (was) the National Endowment for the Humanities, and along with all our grants, they also took the careers of 70% of agency staff. #NEH

The #DogeBro who canceled my #NEH grant said he didn’t think it was a big deal to have a 50% pay cut to take the DOGE job. He also didn’t think anyone should think it a big deal. He also made enough money at 24 that he never needs a salary again.

Here’s #Cavanaugh #NEH
We can't really bear to watch these videos; these are the same people who fired us.
But you can. You should.
Learn, know what they did to the grantees and staff of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

I want you to remember that these were the people that #ElonMusk had deciding what would be cut from government funding. #DOGE and everyone involved in it should be sued for fraud, and jailed for a long time. There isn't an original thought in this guy's head. #NEH #DEI

Update. Here's a #DOGE bro testifying in the lawsuit about terminating #DEI-related #NEH grants. He's being asked: What is DEI? If that's too complicated, what is your understanding of DEI?

These people were making decisions about grant cancellations!!! www.instagram.com/reel/DVtUHcN... A grant to study Jewish women's slave labor during the Holocaust is "inherently discriminatory" bc it's gender-based & about "Jewish culture." Ignorance + power= evil. #NEH #doge #justinfoxdeposition
ICYMI - I'm party to an ongoing lawsuit by Authors Guild as a #NEH grantee whose project was cancelled by DOGE in April 25 before it even began.
