US senators poised to reject Trump’s proposed massive science cuts Committee gives first hint that policymakers might preserve, rather than slash, funding for US National Science Foundation and other agencies.

I think a pocket rescission is Vought’s only path forward this Fiscal year. He only has75 days and there is more support for NIH than NPR or foreign aid. For example, Republican senators have rejected cuts at NSF already: www.science.org/content/arti...

This is where we differ then. I have not seen reporting to back up your prediction and I don’t think Vought can get a formal rescissions package through the Senate based on various R comments and the fact they had to remove PEPFAR money from the bill.

Maybe we are saying the same thing — that OPM attempting and getting away with a pocket rescission is the biggest risk to NIH

Yes I am very familiar with this substack post, but it is almost 3 months outdated now, as you can see from the language around reconciliation. I have not seen reporting that an official rescissions package will be sent to Congress.

Can you provide a reference for this? I have not seen reporting that Vought will bring an official NIH rescissions package. I do agree that OPM is probably considering an illegal pocket rescission.

She was a truly remarkable person... her intellect, empathy, and moral clarity. No one else like her. Happy b-day Shekinah.

What happens to NIH funding if OMB tries a pocket rescission but the courts deliberate on the issue past the end of the fiscal year?

From Peter Drucker's memoir, "Adventures of a Bystander:"

Drucker was a Lecturer at Frankfurt University in February 1933 when this took place, roughly 1 month after Hitler took power.

This is my exact situation.

Enjoy! As a huge Le Carre fan I was a bit nervous but was totally won over

Is this Karla’s Choice?! So good!

@minnajohansson.bsky.social Thanks for writing this paper. Too many people overstate the benefit and understate the opportunity costs of promoting of individual behavior change in primary care.
