MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ON MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ANGEL KELLEY, D.J. These three cases came before the Court on an emergency basis on Monday, February 10, 2025. The National Institutes of Health ("NIH") issued a Supplemental Guidance to the 2024 NIH Grants Policy Statement: Indirect Cost Rates (NOT-OD-25-068) ("Rate Change Notice") on Friday night, February 7, 2025, slashing and capping previously negotiated indirect cost rates on all existing and future grant awards for biomedical research, with an effective date of February 10. This Notice impacts thousands of existing grants, totaling billions of dollars across all 50 states- -a unilateral change over a weekend, without regard for on-going research and clinical trials. The imminent risk of halting life-saving clinical trials, disrupting the development of innovative medical research and treatment, and shuttering of research facilities, without regard for current patient care, warranted the issuance of a nationwide temporary restraining order to maintain the status quo, until the matter could be fully addressed before the Court. Following full briefing and oral argument by the parties, as well as review of accepted amicus briefs, the Court GRANTS a nationwide preliminary injunction.

BREAKING: Federal judge issues a nationwide preliminary injunction blocking NIH from implementing its "Rate Change Notice" that would dramatically cut payments under grants.

Judge Angel Kelley had previously issued a TRO blocking the change. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

my partner and i went today for our very normal pick for valentine’s day. on the way home he used “you’re afraid of the dark” to win a fake-fight. i fear our lexicon is forever changed.

At a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island, Kurt Vonnegut informs his pal, Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his wildly popular novel Catch-22 over its whole history. Heller responds, "Yes, but I have something he will never have enough."

With a bunch of douchebro loser billionaires in the news every day lately, this story has been on my mind almost daily.

sometimes you see a headline and you just want to repost it and say "no shit sherlock"

i didn’t watch it because the promotion felt homophobic in a way where it wasn’t exactly but it felt like it in my gut.

spotify raising the price of the duo plan and then calling me poor sure hurts.

There is far more money to be made in housing than rocket launches. The reason there is no Elon Musk of housing is that it is several orders of magnitude harder than rockets.

It is possible to think that the Israeli apartheid must end now, and that the bombing of Gaza is a war crime, and also think that Hamas indiscriminately murdering civilians is a war crime. It's not even a paradox or a logic puzzle, it's a basic consistent moral position.

The Moral Case for No Longer Engaging With Elon Musk’s X The former Twitter is incentivizing violent content, which will only become worse to stand out to users.

"X is now an app that forcibly puts abhorrent content into users’ feeds and then rewards financially the people who were the most successful in producing it, egging them on to do it again and again" www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
