1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

FYI: Direct File is still available & safe to use for 32 million people in 25 states.

Elon Musk said he "deleted" 18F, an agency that worked on Direct File.

This caused a lot of confusion, but Direct File is still up & running.

Help us combat Musk's misinformation & pass it on.

The NYT asked me to write an op-ed on Musk and the Treasury and then took a pass. I hope it will still get read.
Personal Discretion Over the Treasury's Payments System Means the End of Democracy
If the Court and federal workers fail to stop Elon Musk, we are heading for authoritarianism.
