Protecting research is key, but so is avoiding paranoia that could cripple progress and diplomacy.

This bill mixes national security with paranoia—maybe there’s a middle ground we’re missing here.

If we’re worried about bioweapons, let’s invest in transparency and cooperation, not banned passports in labs.

If national security means shutting down labs with risky players, then sign me up.

Cutting funding based on nationality sounds like security theater, not security policy.

Why fund research that hands our secrets to hostile nations? That’s just common sense.

Shielding science from xenophobia is how we actually protect innovation, not these scare tactics in a bill.

Federal dollars shouldn’t fuel the very countries we call 'concerned'—it’s time for tough love, not handouts.

Building walls around research only starving us of ideas — science doesn’t recognize borders, fear does.
