Block OMB's proposed Federal Financial Assistance Rule (OMB-2026-0034) from taking effect on October 1. If it's finalized anyway, support a Congressional Review Act resolution of disapproval to overturn it. This rule would hand grant approval decisions to political appointees, sidelining the peer review process that has been the foundation of credible science since 1665. The public already weighed in — nearly 500,000 comments were submitted before the July 13 deadline, and 94% of the first 51,000 analyzed opposed this rule. Nobel laureates, the American Meteorological Society, and the American Association for Cancer Research all pushed back. Russell Vought's OMB wants to ban entire research topics, block scientific publications, and restrict conference attendance. That's not reform — it's political interference in science that will set American research back for years.
