  6. Farage hits the jackpot - again

    This latest funder was pardoned for a money laundering crime by #Trump, his other donor did time in an American jail for money laundering crime. The further donor is involved in off shore gambling scams, and another has a different name in Thailand and deals in crypto currency. There is also #Russian money to the party (one jailed for the offence)

    This Party is a sinking pile of #corruption and #criminality and needs to be wound up.

Of course it would work so much better if we could come together nationally. #AI is the perfect #funding #mechanism for ending #homelessness.

  12. Update. "Agencies Move to Implement OMB’s Proposed Takeover of Grant Making."
    insidehighered.com/news/govern

    "The Education Department and National Science Foundation have suggested regulations that would adopt core aspects of the White House Office of Management and Budget’s proposal—even though it’s not finalized."

  15. Update. Now the National Science Foundation (#NSF) is calling for public comments on a plan to revise its research-funding procedures. Comments are due by August 24.
    federalregister.gov/documents/

    The full text of the proposal is not online for display in a browser. (Why?) But you can download it from this page.
    regulations.gov/document/NSF-2

    The text is explicit that one purpose of the new proposal is to align the NSF rules with the proposed, new (May 2026) #OMB rules.

    Note that the public comment period on the OMB proposal only closed on July 13. OMB is still considering the comments -- which are overwhelmingly negative -- and has not yet made final rules. In that sense, the NSF is unquestionably obeying in advance.

    Also note that if many people skip commenting on the NSF plan (say, because they commented on the OMB plan), NSF might infer that not many people care or that opposition to the OMB plan doesn't carry over to the NSF plan. This looks deliberate. It would have been easy for NSF to wait for final rules from OMB.

  17. “Who is Really Bankrolling Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain?”

    by Josiah Mortimer and Max Colbert in The Byline Times on Substack

    “EXCLUSIVE: Byline Times investigates the figures behind the Elon Musk-backed far-right rival to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK”

    [..]

    “Little is known about Restore Britain’s funding. The far-right party, seen as a disrupter on Reform UK’s right flank, was only formally registered as a party in February, meaning further donations records will begin to appear in the coming months, should they cross the threshold for declaration.”

  19. The #PSF has withdrawn a $1.5 million proposal to US government grant program
    pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/N

    In order to not comply with stupid #Trump rules, the #Python community rejected a very important #funding grant by the #USA.

    Therefore, this rather poor #FOSS project shows more #ethics, #morale and spine than multi-billion Dollar #Megacorps like #Apple, #Google, #Microsoft and others.

  20. 🚀🤷‍♂️ Oh no, #NASA might miss out on the chance to watch a #space #rock whiz by, presumably because they're busy with more important matters—like losing #funding or misplacing telescopes. Meanwhile, the rest of us will likely just continue not caring. 🙄🌌

  21. 143mio EUR for 2087 project proposals with approx. 3mio each. That means a funding rate of 2.2% or a reject rate of 97.8%.

    What a waste of resources, so many excellent proposals will be rejected. Science funding has to be organized differently. This is so frustrating, I already regret to have spent so much time on the proposal.
    And the @EUeic even boasts the many submissions. But that is only the accumulated resubmissions of excellent proposals that were rejected in previous years.

  22. #NGOs #funding vs. #NeverAgain in #Germany

    "Fifteen Israeli NGOs said it ‘would be instrumentalised to attack and constrain German funding for our human rights work’."

    "The resolution calls for immigration, asylum and criminal law to be tightened to combat antisemitism, and for universities, where antiwar activists have occupied buildings and set up encampments, to be granted wider powers to discipline and expel students. All levels of government are asked to prevent the financial support of projects and organisations – Documenta is mentioned as an example – that ‘spread antisemitism, question Israel’s right to exist, call for a boycott of Israel or actively support the BDS movement’. The IHRA definition is to be considered ‘authoritative’. The new resolution cites the 2019 BDS text as its model, ignoring a parliamentary assessment from a year later, which found that if that resolution had been formulated as legislation, it ‘would not be compatible with the fundamental right to freedom of expression and would therefore be unconstitutional’."

    "With a non-binding resolution, recipients of state funding will be drafted, willing or unwilling, as enforcers. Curators, convenors of academic conferences and charity administrators will be expected to screen and blacklist any partners or collaborators who could be seen to violate the IHRA guidelines. An old social media post or a signature on a petition could result in funds being withdrawn."
