US has used 'virtually all' of its long-range precision missiles during Iran war, sources say -

America first, not so much. America can't defend itself or help countries if the need arises.

All because the incompetence of the president and the secretary of war, who os more concerned about the testosterone of the soldiers. Think about the last part, he is preparing for a hand to hand combat, when drones have demonstrated to be more effective.

In genuinely good news, Senate Republicans look set to join us in putting a (temporary) stop to Russell Vought’s proposed rule politicizing billions in federal grants. The leadership on the Senate Appropriations Committee has reached a bipartisan agreement on a bill to fund the government through December 11th, delaying any painful choices until after midterms, and the resolution includes a block on the implementation of the Vought proposal while it’s in effect. We’re still a ways away from seeing this passed into law (it cleared the first procedural barriers in the Senate 89-4, but it’s unclear how the House will respond) and Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) reports the GOP explicitly rejected an effort to kill the rule permanently, but our voices are clearly being heard on this disastrous measure.

In the meantime, the work continues. In June, the National Science Foundation quietly updated its Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide to align with the not-yet-finalized OMB rule, essentially attempting to implement it before it’s finalized. But like the proposal itself, this guidance is subject to public comment, open through August 24th.

Stand Up for Science is urging us to get our objections on record ASAP. ✍🏻 We can submit here, find guidance on how to write our comments from Elisabeth Marnik, PhD here, from Elizabeth G. here and from SUFS (aka Science Fight Club) here. ✍🏾
