National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress
The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

Michael Tracey wants it to be known that he was *not* trying to "doxx" the victim of a horrible gang rape, he was merely trying to expose her identity and reveal it to their entire world. They're very different things, you see.
Someone described as a "CNN Creator" put out this video claiming I called for the "doxxing" of Jane Doe, and now a nationwide movement has been sparked against me. I NEVER CALLED FOR "DOXXING." CNN APPARENTLY OPPOSES WHAT IS CALLED "REPORTING" ON CLAIMANTS IN CIVIL PROCEEDINGS

Here's the crux of the ruling blocking Trump from firing court-appointed US Attorney Roger Rogoff in Seattle: Allowing it would "upend" the constitutional order. Trump's tried to end-run Senate confirmation for US Attorneys in five states and failed. Now, he's gunning for the judiciary's power.
Allowing the President to fire a court-appointed U.S. Attorney would upend
the framework created by the Constitution and the statutory framework, which together balances the President’s right to appoint and the Senate’s right to confirm. Allowing the President to fire a court-appointed U.S. Attorney also eliminates the incentive to nominate a candidate that can be conferred by the Senate—in other words, bypassing the requirement that the Executive and Legislative branches work together to nominate and confirm the U.S. Attorney.
