this is the fifth time GAO has found Trump to be in violation of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974
every instance is impeachable. Congress has the spending power, POTUS can't alter or withhold it
https://www.insidehighered.com/news/...ding-nih-fundsAccording to the GAO, the Trump administration was in violation of the ICA when the NIH terminated more than 1,800 grants and, from February to June, committed almost $8 billion less to research than the government had during the same time period the year before. Trump officials argue the cuts are an effort to align federal investment with the president’s priorities.
The GAO said it shared the report with the Department of Health and Human Services, whose officials claim they have lifted the pause on applications for future grants. The department did not say anything, however, about the status of existing appropriations for this year, according to the GAO.
Total ideological streamlining -- gleichschaltung
Plus explicit state ideology promulgated by justice and police forces dictating to the academy and other federal grantees/contractees
Of course, this is not really the law, it is merely an executive branch memo
www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...*Grants must by approved by a political appointee, working with OMB.
*"Discretionary awards must, where applicable, demonstrably advance the President’s policy priorities."
*Cannot "promote anti-American values"
Meaning anti Trump ass kissing
Rubio kind of always looks like that.
if the courts sound like a broken record, it's because Trump 2.0 is breaking the law over and over again -- in the same way
https://www.npr.org/2025/08/07/nx-s1...nities-lawsuitA federal judge has ruled that the government's abrupt elimination of humanities grants previously approved by Congress was "unlawful" and that a lawsuit brought by humanities groups can move forward.
In April, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), terminated grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities to thousands of groups across the country including humanities councils, museums, historic sites, archives, libraries, educators and media outlets.
In May, Oregon Humanities and the Federation of State Humanities Councils sued the endowment and DOGE, alleging the sudden grant cuts were an "attempted destruction, spearheaded by DOGE, of the congressionally established federal-state partnership."
In his decision, U.S. District Judge Michael H. Simon wrote that the councils were "likely to succeed on their claim that the withholding of the funds at issue in this case is uncons utional." He added, "The United States Cons ution exclusively grants the power of the purse to Congress, not the President."
the executive can't shirk reporting what it spends, especially in the context of mass executive impoundment
all that money for FEMA held up at DHS -- has it already been spent?

A federal appeals court panel shot down a Trump administration bid to make secret a public database of federal spending that researchers say is crucial to ensure the administration is not flouting Congress’ power of the purse.
In an order issued Saturday evening, the three-judge D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals panel voted unanimously to give the administration until Friday to put the data back online.
I will say in passing that it is impressive to me how little commentary there is on "both sides" about Trump's truly radical AI driven impoundment/extortion model of enforcing ideological conformity throughout the public and private sphere
..or for that matter, the willy-nilly cancellation of government leases and contracts
I can't imagine a stronger incentive to avoid doing business with the USG

Dabney Friedrich, a Trump-appointed judge
Not down with the gleichschaltung, apparently
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...se/ar-AA1KkYb3U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich, who was appointed by Trump during his first term in 2017, granted the request on Monday.
"The defendants have likely unlawfully frozen the Endowment's funding," Friedrich, who sits on the federal court in Washington, D.C., wrote in a 15-page ruling.
NED, a private, nonprofit organization, was formally recognized in the National Endowment for Democracy Act, which was passed by Congress in 1983.
Friedrich wrote that Congress has the "prerogative" to conduct policy-related oversight of the organization and approve its funding, while NED's board of directors is responsible for ensuring it complies with the purposes laid out in the NED Act.
The executive branch, Friedrich wrote, is tasked with funding the endowment. But evidence in the case "clearly shows" that the Trump administration is "withholding funding" from NED "for impermissible policy reasons," the judge added.
Friedrich also laid out how the Trump administration's decision to halt NED's funding severely hampered the organization's function.
"It was unable to fund 226 approved grants, 124 grants recommended for approval by the Board, and 53 core ins ute projects. These are activities that the Endowment, in consultation with Congress, has determined are 'important and time-sensitive' to furthering 'critical election monitoring, helping democracy activists overcome authoritarian censorship, [and] maintain[ing] access to independent news and information,'—in other words, to fulfilling the Endowment's mission," Friedrich wrote. "The defendants have fallen woefully short of providing an 'annual grant' that 'enable[s]' the Endowment to fulfill its statutory purposes."
The judge also rejected the government's argument that it withheld NED's funding to "ensure" its "level of funding in the coming fiscal year."
"Before and during litigation, the defendants obstructed routine drawdown requests on money already set aside in the Endowment's Treasury account, imposed and then abandoned a novel waiver requirement, and delayed the obligation of apportioned funds," the judge wrote.
She went on to note that she did not need to rule on whether the defendants were barred from imposing an "alternative apportionment schedule in all instances."
"The Court merely finds that the defendants may not withhold appropriated funds under the present conditions: on the grounds that the Endowment's projects do not align with the Executive's priorities," Friedrich wrote.
"In sum, subjecting $95 million of the Endowment's funding to 'review for alignment with Administration priorities,' ... is precisely the kind of extra-statutory requirement prohibited by the NED Act," Friedrich wrote. "Accordingly, the Court concludes that the Endowment is likely to succeed on its claim that the defendants violated the NED Act."
