https://www.the-independent.com/news...-b2791714.htmlA former Obama official sponsored a government K9 in memory of his dead wife. Trump stopped him going to its graduation ceremony
A former Obama administration official and Trump critic was barred from attending the graduation ceremony of a K9 officer he had sponsored - and named after his dead wife.
James Clapper, who served as Director of National Intelligence from 2010 until 2017, was informed by the nonprofit dog-training group that his name had been taken off the list for the event.
The 84-year-old had sponsored the yellow Labrador, named Susan, as she completed her CIA training for “detection canines.” Once deployed, the dogs help to sniff out concealed explosives.
Clapper’s late wife, Susan, a former National Security Agency employee, had been a great animal lover and had volunteered at a local animal shelter.
According to The Atlantic, Clapper was informed that he was not permitted to attend Susan’s graduation a day before the event in late May. The order to bar him had come from an executive order signed by the president.

Court rules OMB must reveal what it's doing with appropriated funds -- they've been hiding the ball
This is a basic violation of separation of powers, sadly very typical of Trump 2.0
The case was so clear that the court skipped over preliminary injunction and gave partial summary judgment on the merits
https://protectdemocracy.org/wp-cont...t-Decision.pdfUnder the United States Cons ution, it is the job of Congress to decide how American taxpayer dollars are spent, including how many dollars to spend and on what priorities to spend them. Once Congress authorizes funding through an appropriations bill, and the President signs the bill into law, cons utional responsibility shifts to the Executive Branch to allocate the funds according to congressional instructions. The decisions about how to allocate funds are called “apportionments,” and they are used to ensure that the Executive Branch does not spend more or less than Congress appropriated. Defendants in this lawsuit are the Executive Branch officials responsible for apportioning congressionally approved spending.
To facilitate congressional oversight of the apportionment decisions of the Executive Branch and provide the public with insight into the decisions, in 2022, Congress passed, and the President signed into law, a statute requiring the Executive Branch to publish its apportionment decisions on a publicly available online database within two days of the decision. Thereafter, the Executive Branch created a public database (the “Public Apportionments Database”) and complied with this law until late March 2025 when, without notice, it took the database offline. Defendants argue that this public disclosure law is an uncons utional encroachment on the Executive Branch’s decision-making authority. Relying on an extravagant and unsupported theory of presidential power, Defendants claim that their apportionment decisions—which are legally binding and result in the actual spending of public funds—cannot be publicly disclosed because they are not final decisions about how to administer the spending of public funds.
However, the law is clear: Congress has sweeping authority to require public disclosure of how the Executive Branch is apportioning the funds appropriated by Congress. Under the law, the decision of the Executive Branch must be made public within two days of the decision. And if Defendants need to make a new decision, that new decision must also be made public within two days. Plaintiffs in this lawsuit monitor these decisions, and they have the right to report on and re-publish this information. As explained in this Memorandum Opinion, there is nothing uncons utional about Congress requiring the Executive Branch to inform the public of how it is apportioning the public’s money. Defendants are therefore required to stop violating the law!
