As Suppression of Dissent Increases, Know Your Rights If the FBI Comes Knocking The FBI is hassling Palestine activists. ICE is compiling dossiers on those who criticize it. Let’s know our rights.

People are often inclined to think that, if they’ve done nothing “wrong,” they won’t get caught up in the government’s surveillance dragnet. But in simply exercising your First Amendment right to criticize the Trump administration, you, too, could be placed under government watch.

98% of NIH grants that should have gone out this month, didn't. Despite court orders 'unfreezing' the funds, they are frozen. Biomedical research will grind to a halt. Clinical trials will end. All for no reason: the total impact on the US budget is miniscule

Trump’s Funding Freeze Creates Chaos and Financial Distress for Farmers Regenerative farming programs supported by the USDA are thrown into chaos as federal funding is put on pause.

Therefore, consistent with the United States Constitution, United States statutes, United States Supreme Court precedent, and the TRO, the Defendants are hereby further ORDERED as follows: The Defendants must immediately restore frozen funding during the pendency of the TRO until the Court hears and decides the Preliminary Injunction request. The Defendants must immediately end any federal funding pause during the pendency of the TRO. The Defendants must immediately take every step necessary to effectuate the TRO, including clearing any administrative, operational, or technical hurdles to implementation. The Defendants must comply with the plain text of the TRO not to pause any funds based on pronouncements pausing funding incorporated into the OMB Directive, like Section 7(a) of the Unleashing Executive Order, and the OMB Unleashing Guidance. The TRO requirements include any pause or freeze included in the Unleashing Guidance.

The Defendants must immediately restore withheld funds, including those federal funds appropriated in the Inflation Reduction Act and the 4 Case 1:25-cv-00039-JJM-PAS Document 96 6602 Filed 02/10/25 Page 5 of 5 PagelD #: Infrastructure Improvement and Jobs Act. The directives in OMB M-25-11 are included in the TRO. The Defendants must resume the funding of institutes and other agencies of the Defendants (for example the National Institute for Health) that are included in the scope of the Court's TRO.

BREAKING: Judge McConnell in Rhode Island — who previously blocked the funding freeze in the states' challenge — issued a follow-up order at the states' request, including specifically restoring "appropriated funds" in the Inflation Reduction Act and infrastructure act and resuming NIH funding.

USDA pauses 2 organic programs, leaving farmers on the hook for millions Officials have also not released funds for the $3.1 billion Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities program.

My sense is that USDA payments are safer than most, though Politico reported recently that payments for organic programs and the climate smart partnerships is on hold. I think FSA is less at risk than NRCS which administers the working land programs and the IRA climate money. Safer - not safe…

It’s sort of like Jan 6 if everybody involved just said a rich guy is letting them do it and everyone was like ok I guess if a rich guy said you could
