"Trump asked budget chief to draft order bringing health research funding under his control."
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/09/19/nih-grants-trump-vought-bhattacharya-harvard-01085413Among the nuggets unearthed here: Trump ordered #NIH director, Jay Bhattacharya, to cut research funding to #Harvard -- apparently without regard to merit, topic, DEI, antisemitism, or any other excuse previously floated. Bhattacharya refused. So Trump intervened to put NIH funding under the control of political appointees, as if Bhattacharya were not already a political appointee.
