We are watching Project 2025 come to life. Thankfully, pro-democracy groups are fighting back in the courts. @democracydocket.com's 16-person team tracks these lawsuits so you don't have to.

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

Caroline Kennedy's letter to the Senate on her cousin RFKJr. is devastating. It is an absolute condemnation of his fitness for office, his lack of character as a human being and must have been deeply painful to write. Any Senator who reads this and votes for this man should be run out of office.

We’ve been on the phone with multiple agencies/orgs. They’ve been completely cut off from federal money. We’re talking housing, homeless services, public safety, etc.

I’m calling a press conference today to explain how this could have drastic local impacts to our constituents.

We are disappointed by the media's response & are actively organizing in response. If others in this thread want to support, please considering volunteering (shorturl.at/PFznW). We need scientists & healthcare workers who can speak with media; volunteers to help with drafting op-ed & letters, etc.

The Senate Finance Committee has scheduled its hearing on the nomination of RFK Jr. to be HHS Secretary for this coming Wednesday, 1/29. Individuals and organizations can submit statements expressing their views on this nominee, and those statements will be included in the hearing records.

There are ✨ 𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘀 ✨ of updates in today's newsletter.

If you're in the U.S. or not, how is Trump’s freeze on health agencies affecting you?

Canadian research received over US$40 million in NIH funding last year.

Please share to help people know what's happening.

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

US FDA drops web pages on improving clinical trial diversity The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has pulled draft guidance from its website requiring companies to test medicines and devices in diverse populations as part of a purge of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at U.S. health agencies.

One of my friends has a grant from the #FDA to look at disparities in clinical trial research and just submitted a manuscript with the findings. She was told today by the collaborators from the #FDA to rescind it.

#Censorhip has started, we are living in authoritarian government.

Yes. Call your members of Congress and keep calling. We need other strategies but we at least need to do this.
