Trump Plans Board to Oversee NIH Grant Funding
x/donald-john-trump
— Sep 20, 2026
Donald Trump is moving to have the White House control NIH grant funding by drafting an executive order for an external board that would veto biomedical research awards not aligned with the president’s political priorities, a plan that would require unanimous approval for decisions and could centralize funding power under political appointees. The proposed board, expected to include Russ Vought and NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, has drawn criticism for undermining NIH’s scientific peer review and raising First Amendment-era concerns amid ongoing litigation over political influence in funding.

House Passes Third Iran War-Powers Resolution
x/donald-john-trump
— Sep 16, 2026
The U.S. House has for a third time passed a war powers resolution aimed at halting President Donald Trump’s ability to take military action against Iran, signaling bipartisan pressure ahead of the midterm elections even as the Senate’s path remains uncertain and Trump is expected to veto. The votes reflect continuing concern about the Iran conflict, with party lines shifting slightly as a handful of Republicans joined Democrats, and the cost of the war mounting as the political debate intensifies.

It's good Congress keeps voting to limit war with Iran, but the Senate needs to step up or this changes nothing.
