Trump signed an executive order today withdrawing fed funds from schools teaching Critical Race Theory, the 1619 Project and "radical gender ideology." Tomorrow's CRT lesson (critique of colorblindness) would be grounds to pull funding if it were taught in a high school. shorturl.at/qpVc1

And our article from 2019 shows why presidents do not have constitutional authority for suspension, impoundment, or delaying congressionally allocated funds:

Read Sam’s statutory analysis of why Trump’s impoundment (delaying allocated funds) is unlawful.
On why it’s also unconstitutional, Kent, Leib & I wrote about the president’s duty to “take Care that the laws be faithfully executed.”
No power to suspend laws:

Tik Tok, time's up. The idea that a president can sign an executive order to delay or refuse to enforce a federal law, after the law has already gone into effect, is outrageous. Tom Cotton, do you need some lawyers?

I find it strange but predictable that the focus of this NYT article isn't that Cormac McCarthy exploited a 16 year old girl but the debate re how much she influenced his writing. Yes, the piece suggests he exploited her, but only to wonder at length how much his audience would hold it against him.
A Long-Held Secret Is Now Public. Will It Alter Cormac McCarthy’s Legacy?
