🚨 BREAKING: OMB has just issued a memo *rescinding* the previous memo freezing all federal financial assistance programs. Full text, per government source:

Next time someone says they voted for this guy “because of the economy,” send them to this website so they can see the economic impact of NIH funding in their state. And then remind them that this guy and his cronies are out to end it.
