Trump halts medical research funding in apparent violation of judge’s order

Summary
The Trump administration has blocked the National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant review meetings by halting their required Federal Register submissions, effectively freezing medical research funding in apparent violation of a judge’s order.
The NIH’s actions defy a court ruling mandating an end to funding pauses. Experts warn the delay could cost $1 billion every three days and disrupt life-saving research.
Scientists suspect the move is a covert attack on medical science. If the administration continues to defy court orders, officials could face contempt charges.
The NIH did not provide an explanation for the cancellations.
Imagine doing this during a massive bird flu outbreak, in a country that was essentially founded on biological weapons based genocide.
It's a Good Thing the Courts have been Holding Trump accountable with all their Consequences!
