An NIH employee back in April mapped out the Vought plan that is playing out now. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

When that surplus comes to public attention, the Democratic legal and political world is going to strongly push NIH to get the money out the door to avoid impoundment. That is the unconstitutional action where the executive branch unilaterally decides to leave money unspent. But at that point, in mid- to late-summer, Trump can throw up his hands and say that there are not enough reviewed grants, enough time, and enough remaining employees to do that spending. And that's where Republicans in Congress can come in and finalize a big NIH budget cut. Using the rescission process, which requires only a simple majority in the Senate, the Republican majorities in the Senate and House can vote to return the unspent funds. That will avoid impoundment and lop billions off the NIH budget. That new shrunken NIH budget for this year (FY25) could then be used by Republican-majority appropriators as a benchmark to set the NIH budget at this new smaller level for next year (FY26) and future years. (Good explainer on rescission if you want to dig deeper).

Lots of evidence that there’s a “there, there” with Trump and Epstein: ✅ Letter to Epstein about “their secret.” ✅ Private party of just two (Trump & Epstein) with teen girls at Mar-a-Largo ✅ Says Diddy calls him when he has a party ✅ Files “disappeared”

Yes she does. A lot of others need to retire too.

EXCLUSIVE: Not only does an Excel spreadsheet of Trump mentions in the Epstein files exist, but so do training videos explaining how to flag the files for Trump mentions. Plus, the number of people who had access is larger than previously known. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

EPSTEIN-Trump is playing games. He’s seeking disclosure of grand jury material but that requires court approval which the law is VERY hard to satisfy. But the government TODAY can disclose all the other investigative material on its own without court approval. Why isn’t it doing that?

The story about Colbert being cancelled because…. Trump doesn’t like him, should be a warning shot to everyone. The oligarchy has the power… they will use their money to silence you. Time to rise up.

Firing the prosecutor of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell doesn’t make the problem go away. It intensifies awareness of a coverup.

The Commandant's quarters are provided as a housing arrangement for an active-duty military officer. Noem is a civilian, with absolutely no reason to be there. She's playing house on the taxpayer's dollar. What a great example of government waste and misuse of funds. And an insult to the CG.
