The impact is already hitting science agencies hard. The NIHβ€”the world's largest public biomedical research funderβ€”has had to rely on leftover stopgap funds.

New grant awards have slowed to a trickle β€” exacerbating the effects of a record-long shutdown in October.

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem β€œ9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

β€œDolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure β€˜every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

Wars can only be declared by Congress.

Taxes can only be levied by Congress.

Spending can only be appropriated by Congress.

Laws can only be passed by Congress.

Any President who refuses to work with Congress is an enemy of the Constitution and the rule of law.

They also tased and tackled him for no reason. He said "Sorry" and couldn't speak English. He was holding 2 shower curtain rods as walking sticks.

He spent 15 months in jail only to be released to die alone in the cold.

You should be livid after reading this.

They killed him bc they could.

Line graph of the number of NIH projects funded by NIH in fiscal year 2026 through February 20, compared to fiscal years 2020-2025. The fiscal year 2026 is following the curve for fiscal year 2025 but offset due to the government shutdown that occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year.
