NASA is going back to their Nazi roots, I guess.

there is probably more detailed info about this but from the end of the article:
For the medical research community, however, the termination of these programs might be the least of its concerns. As of Tuesday, all external communication from agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services, which includes the NIH, Centers for Disease Control, and the Food and Drug Administration, were put on hold. This will include things like alerts regarding the spread of emerging diseases, such as the H5N1 bird flu that’s currently widespread in agricultural animals.
But today, it became clear that this policy extended well beyond external communications. One researcher said that an NIH workshop was canceled mid-presentation. Others have reported that all evaluations of grant proposals by the NIH are now on hold indefinitely. Should the hold last for any significant amount of time, it will have severe ripple effects, as arranging the peer review panels that evaluate grants involves complicated scheduling and travel, so the delays may persist for considerably longer.
Hold a government program underwater until the bubbles stop. Whine pathetically to anyone who will listen that it's "broken" and should therefore be dismantled rather than fixed.
That's completely inline with the Republican MO. I would expect them to push it as far as possible this time. Hope the the MAGA folks are ready to take it in the ass with the rest of us since that's what they signed us all up for.
