Federal Government's Growing Banned Words List Is Chilling Act of Censorship Banned words list 2025: The federal government is banning a growing number of words to comply with executive orders from President Trump.

What in the actual #$%^! Banned words from fed grant applications!

"Autism", "expression", "identity" words in every manuscript I write. scholar.google.com/citations?us...

There will be no grant applications to review - maybe that is the actual point πŸ§ͺ

Just talked to my local pharmacist apparently we will not be able to get Covid vaccinations this fall. She said the recommendations from the CDC have not been very clear but that since we had a vaccination last year, we cannot get one this year WTF.

I’m wondering if we can ask the press to put a 24 hour embargo on headlines and discussions of executive orders from the Trump administration. Seems like many of them are reversed within that time. And not even worth considering the distraction from the important issues.

🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees

Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday

πŸ“£ Comments can be short. Courts consider themβ€”and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful

Speak up! shorturl.at/WKuBj

Constituent here. Completely heartbroken that you cannot be part of the resistance - that you are complicit in allowing Trump and Musk to dismantle the government. PA will not forget your choice.
