NEW: A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration’s termination of hundreds of NIH grants was β€œvoid and illegal.”

He ordered funding for some of the grants, including many profiled by ProPublica in recent months, to be reinstated.

The DOGE 100: Musk Is Out, but More Than 100 of His Followers Remain to Implement Trump’s Blueprint At least 38 DOGE members work, or have worked, for one of Elon Musk’s companies. Meanwhile, nearly two dozen DOGE officials are making cuts to the same federal agencies that regulate the industries…

#ICYMI: We've added 23 staffers to our DOGE tracker, taking the total to 109.

We also revealed the makeup of the DOGE team at the Defense Department, a group made up primarily of tech startup founders.

What the lawsuits challenging the NIH grant terminations have shown is just how involved DOGE was.

As we previously revealed, DOGE provided lists of grants to terminate, as well as letter templates and boilerplate language.

A big issue in the hearing today.

Internal VA Emails Reveal How Trump Cuts Jeopardize Veterans’ Care, Including To β€œLife-Saving Cancer Trials” Despite a congressional mandate to expand care for veterans, internal Veterans Affairs messages obtained by ProPublica paint a stark portrait of how chaotic cost cutting has already imperiled tests…

In March, VA officials across the US warned that their cancer-tracking databases were no longer being updated. Officials in the Pacific Northwest noted DOGE had marked its contract to maintain a cancer registry for β€œimmediate termination.”

RFK Jr. removes all 17 members of vaccine committee for CDC HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. removed all 17 members of the panel that makes vaccine recommendations to the CDC.

This is how you make one of the model systems for drug and vaccine approval into a circus.

Coco Gauff β€˜proud to represent Americans that look like me’ in French Open final triumph Coco Gauff said she hoped she had provided some positivity for her supporters given the political situation in the United States

Congratulations to Coco Gauff for winning her second Grand Slam at the French Open today. Although her opponent refused to credit her for her play, claiming the weather was the reason she lost, Coco was a class act. I’m
Sure there are many more titles to come.

I saw this too and was infuriated by it. The health insurance system is rife with problems, one of which is that doctors who may have never practiced are played exorbitant amounts of money to overrule other doctors that are much more qualified. I hope this poor guy can get the care that he needs.

Proud to see a new group from HSPH enter the Public health world. We need you now more than ever. Someday the craziness will end and we’ll have an enormous public health disaster to attend to.

Don’t give up!

The DEA once touted body cameras for their β€œenhanced transparency.” Now the agency is abandoning them, citing a Trump executive order.

Have You Been Affected by Changes at the Department of Veterans Affairs? Tell Us About It. Have you experienced setbacks in your care or benefits amid the changes at the Department of Veterans Affairs? ProPublica wants to hear from you.

As the Trump administration pledges to eliminate 80,000 employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs, we're investigating how changes at the VA are affecting veterans themselves.

If you've experienced setbacks in your care, we want to hear from you.

If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen.

Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.

ACLU of Maine Finds Expanded Immigration Detainment, Demands More Information The ACLU of Maine learned of increased ICE detention in Maine and is seeking more information about local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

No state, no matter how rural or small, is immune from this kind of activity. Arrests have been called into 911 as suspected kidnappings. Since when do immigration arrests get confused with kidnappings? This is not normal.
