PBS and NPR leaders testify at House DOGE subcommittee hearing | full vidoe YouTube video by CBS News

I just remembered that Rep MTG led the subcommittee that grilled the presidents of NPR and PBS in the spring, calling them "Un-American."

Hoyer, Maryland Congressional Delegation Hold Meeting to Discuss Protecting the Chesapeake Bay Image

The Chesapeake Bay is the beating heart of MD as it’s central to our state geographically, economically & culturally. It is critical that we reach the full potential of federal support for the Bay & its watershed.

Team MD will keep working to restore the Bay & create a healthy watershed for all.

As anticipated, NIH is going to use the NIH Director's "Unified Strategy" (which does not include much actual strategy) to justify renegotiation of aims.

All federal employees took an oath to the constitution. I’ve worked with many leaders across multiple agencies, including the military. It’s our duty and an honor to defend the constitution. We believe in America and the principles that made this country special. The oath demands we protect it.

We knew this regulation was going into effect, but we didn't yet know whether and how NIH might seek to use it.

Yesterday, we found out. NIH will indeed add specific language to new grant terms and, in doing so, it'll preserve the option to use this new power.

Trump Administration Announces Steps to Dismantle Education Department

Absolutely absurd.

β€œAdministration officials have pointed to the recent federal shutdown to justify the moves, noting that schools remained open and students continued to be taught despite nearly all of the Education Department’s staff having been furloughed.”
