It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

look at my opposition party, dawg. i'm going to the camps
In 2019, when Trump wanted John Ratcliffe as his head of National Intelligence, Democrats called him shockingly unqualified, noting his only qualification was loyalty to Trump. Trump had to pull the nomination and do a recess appointment.
Today, only 25 Dems voted against him for head of the CIA.

It's always been obvious that the anti-DEI backlash wasn't driven by opposition to silly or ineffective trainings, it was opposition to diversity itself.
BREAKING: In a new executive order sent out by the White House, Donald Trump has revoked the federal contractor nondiscrimination executive order, EO 11246, that was signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and has protected employees of businesses seeking federal contracts from discrimination ever since.

the current conservative meta is that disqualifying a candidate for trying to forcibly seize the presidency undermines democracy, but the act of attempting to forcibly seize the presidency itself was legitimate legal maneuvering
