The decision by an unelected foreign billionaire to cut off access to crucial scientific research journals at the U.S. Agricultural Library is deeply concerning. Government scientists play a vital role in driving innovation, facilitating groundbreaking discoveries, and developing potential cures for diseases that impact us all. Denying them access to the latest research impedes scientific progress and harms the public interest. We must prioritize supporting our nation's scientific workforce by ensuring they have access to the resources they need to conduct their important work effectively. I urge you to take immediate action to restore access to these essential research materials for the dedicated public servants at the U.S. Agricultural Library.
