The Trump admin (specifically Russell Vought) violated the Impoundment Control Act when it decimated AHRQ last year, leaving $78M in Congressionally appropriated funds on the table. Vought did it again last month. As we look toward new leadership in 2027, we need accountability. impeachvought.com

Is that the 'Misdemeanor' of high crimes and misdemeanors? It's def. conduct that violates the public trust, whether or not it's a statutory crime. How can we inspire the House to act?

This is really cool 😎 responsibility.berkeley.edu#observatory Can you make a national database of pesticide permitting data?! It's really hard information to access. It could prove useful for future epidemiological studies or reviewing the risk profile of certain substances.

I have been wondering using a list of 250 words to search and cancel grants is not viewpoint discrimination under the First Amendment? Also: Congress often includes language that requires studies of underrepresented populations, so an EO cannot invalidate those statutory grants.

Thomas's response: "Steve, no offense, but why would I give a damn what those people think." If that's the MO of a judge on the highest court in the land I'd like to hear Breyer's academic critics of Thomas make their voices declared for the public to hear.

According to Cruz, Justice Breyer approached Thomas and asked if he "wants to go talk to law professors who were expressing derision toward him." Breyer's suggestion was essentially an offer to engage with his critics in the legal academy.
