Update on a significant development NIH grant terms.
On 10/1, a change to grant making regs went into effect that gives NIH more power to terminate grants for policy reasons.
But to use this power, new grant terms must include specific language. See @aniloza.bsky.social w/ the story from July.

Absolutely correct
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

WE NEED A REAL LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION.
Like other countries have. A leader of the out-of-power party who has actual power over members.
Otherwise people will vote their self-interest over the party's interest - and over the country's as well.

One party blatantly lies, and that's all its supporters hear.
We must have been here before in the glided age with robber-baron-owned press. What strategies proved useful then to persuade folks who bought the lies? @hcrichardson.bsky.social @jamellebouie.net

One unfortunate truth since 1980: For Dems to win at national level they need to capture at least some votes from white rural and urban working class (male) folks (i.e. the "Reagan Democrats"). @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social @mattyglesias.bsky.social
