• Schrodinger's Cat of federal funding freezes

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jan 29 20:24:40 2025
    Welcome to the Schrodinger's Cat of federal funding freezes. Courts
    can't block something that doesn't exist -- so if they do away with
    the piece of paper saying it exists, but everyone who needs to know
    knows that it "does" still exist, does it still exist?

    1. The executive orders did *not* freeze federal funding.

    2. The Monday OMB memo *did* freeze federal funding.

    3. OMB rescinded Monday's memo, thereby rescinding the funding freeze.

    4. The EOs (which did not freeze federal funding) are still in
    effect--and, for these purposes, irrelevant.
