Isn't this kind of a disparate impact argument? I thought he hated those.
The Trump Administration's proposed new rules for research grants are hard to reconcile with the statutory missions of agencies like the National Science Foundation. The Administration doesn't even bother trying.

Why is the Administration out to wreck American science? In this case, the obvious answer is also the correct: it's all about ideology.

DOE is eliminating rebates for replacing gas furnaces with heat pumps. Funny thing: Congress specifically included those replacements in the rebate program.

As part of its continuing war against American science, the Trump Administration has proposed a new rule that replaces merit-based research funding with a highly political process. Besides being terrible policy, the new rule is clearly illegal.

NEW @iea.org data: clean energy investment is now more than double fossil fuels.
$2,155bn vs $1,008bn in 2025.
The crossover happened around 2016. Since then the gap has only widened. What was a narrow lead a decade ago is now a >2-to-1 split.
The Trump Administration's multi-prong attack on American science seems to come down to ideology, plain and simple.
New from Professor @profrrothschild.bsky.social in the Columbia Law Review, State Climate Superfunds, explores enacting new laws that would require the companies who have most profited from fossil fuel usage to assist in funding climate adaptation projects.

The Trump Administration views science as fatally infected with woke ideas and lacking much other value. @dfarber1950.bsky.social

A close look at OMB’s proposed rule only heightens concerns. @dfarber1950.bsky.social

OMB's proposed new regulations for federal research grants turn out, on close examination, to be just as bad as they seemed.
Trump's assertion that all you have to do is look at election results to see they're rigged against him and his allies is not some new ploy. As Prof Neil Buchanan explains on the blog, it is his consistent m.o. This reasoning-free m.o. is also now standard among Trump's henchmen and bootlickers. 👇
