Fixing Bugs, live! Help stop the Project 2025 attack on science. **today at 3pm Eastern**
TODAY is the deadline for public comment. Veteran policymaker Dr. Elizabeth Ginexi will help understand what to say.
A proposed federal rule from the Office of Management and Budget would strip researchers of the ability to do their work based on scientific merit. Today’s the deadline for making public comment. Want to say something, but you’re not sure what? We have you covered. Tune in to our Substack Live at 3:00pm Eastern! (corrected link)
I will be joined by veteran policymaker Elizabeth Ginexi. Dr. Ginexi has 22 years of experience working as an internal program officer at the National Institutes of Health. Now she’s sounding the alarm on what the proposed rule would do to American science - and for all federal grants. Start with her latest - then two key overviews here and here.
Much more than science is at stake. This rule puts $1.1 TRILLION of federal grants into the hands of the executive: everything from bridge repair to housing to Medicaid. Congress would be stripped of its power. This rule brings the Presidency one step closer to becoming a full-on authoritarian regime.
Dr. Ginexi also has a long-term strategic view. She is a leader in exactly what I wrote about before: to stop this sabotage to our government, we have to get Congress to act.
Tune in today - and clear your evening tonight to make public comment!
