my grant w/ @eegilbert.org on non-consensual intimate content, which disproportionately impacts women, is in the Ted Cruz database. The irony? Ted Cruz himself introduced a bill into Congress last year on this exact same topic and he went live on TV saying it impacts women.

Ted Cruz said he’d found $2 billion in “woke” science grants, but his team used keyword searches that flagged things out of context, like a grant to develop a device to treat severe bleeding that mentioned “victims” and “trauma.” www.propublica.org/article/ted-...

For "One First," I wrote about Monday's OMB memo purporting to (temporarily) freeze billions of dollars of appropriated federal spending—and why it constitutes both unconstitutional and unlawful "impoundment" that's unlikely to be upheld by even *this* #SCOTUS: www.stevevladeck.com/p/120-the-im...

The Trump administration's Monday spending freeze is likely to provoke a crisis over the constitutionality of "impoundment"—one that the justices could well have to resolve *very* soon.
