Prohibited activities include advising Chinese graduate students. For reference, a recent Georgetown report estimated 16% of STEM graduate students in the US are Chinese nationals.
This would take out entire fields at the knees, which is perhaps the point.

“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

The Epstein files and case, and all of the efforts to suppress documents related to it, are not an "issue" like immigration and the economy. What the hell are you people talking about?
Enten: "Trump is 39 below water on the Epstein case. 39 points in the negative! My goodness gracious. What Trump has been selling on the Epstein files, the Epstein case, the American people have not been buying at all ... less than half of Republicans are buying it. This is his worst issue by far"

Even if this is true, and even if it indicates some kind of fraud (and I don't think this admin gets the benefit of the doubt on either point), there are 42 million people who get SNAP each month.
That 186,000 is 0.4% of the program. It's not nothing, but also not a program riddled with fraud.

Which…means that Trump was at his house and on his plane and that Epstein had the receipts to prove it. So.
