DOGE - Four FEMA employees are being fired for approving a $59 million payment to house migrants in NYC without authorization, according to DHS.

RFK Jr. - Tomorrow, we make history! One more day until I'm confirmed as HHS Secretary. We'll tackle the chronic disease epidemic head-on, ban harmful additives, and restore trust in our health agencies. It's time for real change in America's medical system!🇺🇸

START PRAYING AGAIN FOLKS - latest shows all Demon crats are a no including Fetterman who has voted yes on other nominees. McConnell seems mute, nothing from Murkowski, but hurrah, Collins has indicated a "yes".

NIH repost by RFK Jr. - Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

When I was in the grant writing phase of my career some places got away with charging over 100% indirect costs. Not hard to guess who and that depleted the grant funds available p.d.q.
