Congressman Troy Carter has condemned the Trump administration's proposed federal grant rules, which would give political appointees authority to decide scientific research funding, bypassing peer review. The rules, aimed at eliminating a 'woke' agenda, face opposition from over 100 Democrats and academic researchers concerned about politicizing science and limiting research dissemination.
