The Stand Up for Science page has a section of OMB Rule Related Resources. The best one to help you personalize your comment is the SUFS Overview of the Rule Proposal
Even just 2 sentences about why you oppose this rule that would allow federal grants to be appointed by political appointees instead of the current expert consideration by peer review panels is enough! Each comment should be personalized so that it will count as its own comment. In other words, change some words in any boilerplate text you find in other comments. If everyone posts the exact same comment, then no matter how many submissions, it would only count as 1 comment.
OMB-2026-0034 proposed rule change allows administrations to REFUSE GRANTS BASED ON IDEOLOGY inc research on DEI & gender issues but can include concerns such as climate change, gun violence & vaccines.

This situation is a desperate one. RACC writes 13 minutes ago:
"There are no empty kennels left for dogs.
That means when the next stray dog is found... when the next neglected dog is seized from a dangerous situation... when the next injured or sick animal needs a safe place to land... we have nowhere for them to go.
Right now, Richmond Animal Care & Control is hanging on by a single paddle in rough water, and the current is getting stronger. We've fought every wave we could, but without this community stepping in, we're becoming a sinking ship!
If you have a dog at our shelter, PLEASE come reclaim them at 1600 Chamberlayne Avenue

Can you foster a large dog, even temporarily?�A foster home saves a kennel and gives a dog a chance to decompress.�Email - Lydia.worden@rva.gov
Are you with a rescue that can pull a dog or two from us?�We desperately need your help.�Email - Savannah.hughes@rva.gov
Please share this post. Tell your friends. Tell your family. Tell your community neighborhood group. Help us reach the person who has been thinking about adding a dog or cat to their home, the foster who has one more spot, or the rescue that can make room for just one more.
One open kennel can mean one more life saved."
We are not giving up on these animals. We are asking our community to help us keep fighting for them.
Davey Hearn, a celebrated Olympian, was falsely accused of vandalizing the DC reflecting pool, a charge that has shaken both him and those who know his character and dedication.
He is scheduled for an arraignment hearing on July 9 at 9:30 a.m. at the D.C. Superior Court. 500 Indiana Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20001.
Join us at 8:30 a.m to rally outside the Court and to attend the arraignment.
This is it, this needs to be our biggest event. A continuous action in DC for the week of independence, there are 5 days left and I want to see you there
Please spread the word and attend. We need to get Rob Wittman out of office.
Voters have previously been able to get laws like California's Prop 12, a requirement that animals have basic space to move. This legislation protects Big Ag and their corporate profits while also lowering food safety and animal welfare standards.

I realize this isn't political, but it is news that should be shared. Many people don't realize how long parrots can live.
