They're using that as a blanket excuse for a lot these letters, which is patently absurd. They're trying to get around rules requiring a valid reason for termination.

Elon and his henchmen are the most grotesque of thieves. In a debased reverse Robin Hood move they steal from those most in need,solely to amass the trillions needed to give themselves yet another tax cut. Newsflash to the Marie Antoinette fan club, the public outcry is growing.This won't end well.

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
Consistent with the reasoning above, it is hereby ORDERED that Defendants Marco
Rubio, Peter Marocco, Russell Vought, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Agency for
International Development, and the Office of Management and Budget (the "Restrained
Defendants") and their agents are temporarily enjoined from enforcing or giving effect to Sections
1, 5, 7, 8, and 9 of Dep't of State, Memorandum, 25 STATE 6828 (Jan. 24, 2025) and any other
directives that implement Sections 3(a) and 3(c) of Executive Order Number 14169, "Reevaluating
and Realigning United States Foreign Aid" (Jan. 20, 2025), including by:
• suspending, pausing, or otherwise preventing the obligation or disbursement appropriated foreign-assistance funds in connection with any contracts, grants, cooperative
agreements, loans, or other federal foreign assistance award that was in existence as of
January 19, 2025; or
• issuing, implementing, enforcing, or otherwise giving effect to terminations, suspensions, or stop-work orders in connection with any contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, loans, or other federal foreign assistance award that was in existence as of January 19, 2025.It is further hereby ORDERED that nothing in this order shall prohibit the Restrained
Defendants from enforcing the terms of contracts or grants.
It is further hereby ORDERED that the Restrained Defendants shall take all steps necessary to effectuate this order and shall provide written notice of this order to all recipients of
existing contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements for foreign assistance.
It is further hereby ORDERED that the Restrained Defendants shall file a status report by
February 18, 2025, apprising the Court of the status of their compliance with this order, including by providing a copy of the written notice described above.
The parties shall meet and confer and file a joint status report by February 14, 2025, at 5:00
