EXCLUSIVE: One Gov’t Agency Still Spending $1,000,000,000 On DEI Despite Trump’s Order To Cut It Out
While other agencies have moved to eliminate the “illegal and immoral programs” targeted in Trump’s day-one executive order, NIH is still funding over $1.3 billion in active grants that include DEI components — from race-based hiring schemes to “anti-racist” training initiatives and diversity-first faculty pipelines. - Thomas English
At least $441 million of those grants explicitly cite DEI in their project descriptions, according to NIH data compiled by watchdog group Do No Harm.
“The NIH spends billions and billions of dollars, and those are taxpayer dollars,” Dr. Kurt Miceli, the group’s medical director, told the Daily Caller News Foundation...

- Among the still-active grants is a $28 million 2022 award to Mount Sinai — the largest hospital network in New York City — which pledges to embed “an anti-racist mindset” and “justice, equity, diversity [and] inclusion,” or JEDI, into every layer of its medical research infrastructure until it expires in 2028.
- A $10 million grant to the University of Michigan from 2023 similarly promises to “expand the diversity of voices” in research and train “diverse types” of clinicians across the state until 2027...

COVID FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY: This was the Minneapolis Star-Tribune’s front page:
The story had no “Two weeks to stop the spread” messaging.

Congress gave the Supreme Court the authority to curb them by clarifying the Rules of Civil Procedure. -Elizabeth Price Foley 
- Federal trial judges blocking presidential acts via nationwide injunctions are creating a serious conflict between the executive and judicial branches.
