10/ And to reiterate a key point:

CONGRESS 👏 SETS 👏 BUDGET 👏 LEVELS

Today's update is called a **request** for a reason.

And Congress should reject it. History provides optimism:
So: In 2017, Congress made this happen:

NIH: Proposed 22% cut --> 9% increase
NSF: Proposed 11% cut --> 4% increase
NOAA: Proposed 16% cut --> 4% increase

Obviously, 2025 is not 2017. A lot is diff now. But still:

💰 Congress, not WH, sets budgets.

📞 Public support & calls to Congress matter.
