I'm immensely relieved that a judge has blocked this for now.

The only thing I would point out: It's useless to spend more than just a few minutes deliberating the initial intent or possible evolution of this entire spectacle, what with the game of stupidtelephone that necessarily takes place between the Trump people.

Trump's executive will try to wear down any resistance to total budgetary control through the courts, regardless of anything else, but, and correct me if I'm wrong, no one still really knows much about this recent situation besides "individual grants will be covered, for now" or something like that? And if push comes to shove, if Trump glows a gasket about something, (and no one will believe this) the Trump people will break the law. One way is that they'd simply refuse to comply with judge's orders and rulings. The top court in the land said it was fine, actually. Cue another round of people unreasonably surprised when that threshold is breached. "Wow, that judge said to pause all construction on The Camps, but Trump just said 'no don't stop building'! Who does he think he is?? That's against the law"

Hope everyone's ok out there!
