Again, OMB is using the apportionment mechanism to stop funding. Here it is the Smithsonian. I would note: they are not legally binding if exercised out of the scope of the President’s authority.

Why did the legislative drafter get fired from the production of Hamlet? He refused to say 2(b) or not 2(b) without having first reviewed the text of 2(a) … that was the opening joke at the drafting conference and I’m not sorry :p

Today in #Amtrak adventures… the cafe car on my overnight train was unexpectedly closed at 9:45a due to a biohazard. It won’t reopen until Washington, DC, around 3:30p (lots of delays). I feel sorry for the folks that didn’t get up for breakfast quickly.
