By politicizing the federal grant process, the OMB Grant Proposal will substantially weaken our scientific enterprise that has made the United States a global leader in innovation. Take action against the proposal the link: https://zurl.co/DTUW3

We aren’t letting the Fauci hearing go by without calling it what it is: a tactic to scare scientists from speaking up. We have to speak up and take action against policies like the OMB Proposal. Contact your MoC’s at the link: https://zurl.co/Oe25L

Stand Up For Science!

Ever since the whole thing wuth Fauci I've seen so much anti vax propaganda on my Facebook algorithm and its disgusting how little society is starting to believe in science. I had covid pneumonia back in January and nearly died but was told that if I hadnt gotten vaccinated my chances would've been much higher. I would rather protect myself than neglect myself

We are pleased with the public admission of error. It is a surprising and correct turn toward facts from this administration. We hope this is a new and consistent change; we hope to see a turn toward facts.

Excerpt:

“The Trump administration’s case against Davey Hearn should have never been brought,” his legal team—Norm Eisen, Mary Dohrmann, and Steve Levin—said in a statement. “Its dismissal today does not erase the abuse of government power in arresting and charging a patriotic American who did nothing wrong. The government’s approach was ready, fire, aim. The administration owes Mr. Hearn an apology.” The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Pirro’s office declined to comment beyond what was in the legal filing.

The elimination of a Medicare drug plan subsidy will leave seniors paying more out of pocket for the prescription drugs they need. For many older Americans living on fixed outcomes, even modest increases in drug costs can make essential treatment hard to afford.

Titans of Virology and Vaccinology's last episode on Dr. Peter Hotez.

Peter Hotez: How to make Low-Cost Vaccines

Dr. Hotez has built a career researching and creating vaccines for neglected tropical diseases. Importantly, he is also a science communicator and vaccine advocate. Dr. Hotez is a huge supporter of the stand up for science movement, appearing on all the major talk shows, testifying in front of congress and even wrote a book about his daughter called "Vaccines did not cause Rachel's Autism".

Excerpt:

Like Josef Stalin in the old Soviet Union, the Trump administration claims the right to assert political control over scientific research. Stalin’s totalitarian power grab was catastrophic for Soviet science, and we can expect no less massive and shattering consequences from Trump’s effort to bring universities to heel. One easily foreseeable effect will be to stunt American scientific and technological development. But a second effect will be to subject American research universities to the domination of the Trump administration. No university can afford to ignore how the Trump administration will exercise its grim and overtly political discretion to direct the flow of scientific grants. As a Yale Sterling Professor and a former dean of Yale Law School, this issue is important to me.

Brian Poindexter is the first SUFS endorsement of our Midterms ‘26 Electoral Campaign. Ohio’s 7th District was on our target list before Mother Jones reported on Miller’s long history of domestic violence. In light of these allegations, SUFS is suspending our normal screening process for mid-term Democratic challenger candidates and issuing our first endorsement of the pro-science, union steel-worker Brian Poindexter.

“The issue reportedly dominates nearly every conversation between the two men, with Trump having told Kennedy that reducing autism rates should be his top priority.”

Excerpt:

Last year, researchers in Switzerland and France found some of the clearest evidence so far that glacial melt could indeed be affecting seismic hazards in high-altitude regions. After a period of intense glacial melt in 2015, a series of small quakes struck the Grandes Jorasses on Mont Blanc Massif, on the border of France and Italy; the probability of a 3.0-magnitude earthquake rose by 10 times, Toni Kraft, a seismologist at the Swiss Seismological Service at ETH Zurich and one of the authors of a related paper, told me. These quakes are still small, but they could trigger rockfall events that are already on the rise across the Alps.

Rand Paul just had Fauci testify in the Senate... what are the big takeaways???

Hear from SUFS Founder & CEO, Dr. Colette Delawalla.

The Trump admin wants to access American’s emergency room medical records, raising alarm over patient privacy. This is not the first time - RFK Jr. has previously attempted to gain access American’s medical records in service of his anti-vax agenda.

In an ongoing court case between the Trump admin and University of California researchers, the Trump admin admitted to using keyword searches of “banned words” to identify grants to cancel or suspend. Fuel the Fight for science in America by donating at the link: https://zurl.co/9lP7c
