Reasons aren't being given for these unusual cuts, so researchers are looking for patterns in what is being cut.

Discussion Approximately 1 in 30 trials and more than 74 000 trial participants were affected by grant funding disruptions. Affected trials disproportionately studied infectious diseases, prevention, and behavioral interventions, and were based in the Northeastern US or in other countries. Because trials require sustained financial support to ensure operations and participant safety, unanticipated funding disruptions raise concerns about avoidable waste, data quality, and compromised ethical obligations to participants.5,6

Much of the fraud came from marketers acting suspiciously enough to be flagged by Meta’s internal warning systems. But the company only bans advertisers if its automated systems predict the marketers are at least 95% certain to be committing fraud, the documents show. If the company is less certain – but still believes the advertiser is a likely scammer – Meta charges higher ad rates as a penalty, according to the documents. The idea is to dissuade suspect advertisers from placing ads.

From the LA Times Story, the toddler is safe.
The toddler has since been reunited with her family. Lindsay Toczylowski, co-founder of Immigrant Defenders Law Center, confirmed that the man in the video was the father of the child. She said the firm had reached out to the family thinking that the father would be in immigration custody but then learned that he and his toddler were both U.S. citizens.

I had forgotten that the plaintiffs can claim suppression of exercise of religious beliefs. It's not just the pepper spraying of one clergyman, they needed to be allowed to pray for the detainees. Nice one! There is a lot more in the filing worth reading.
Here, Rev. Black, Rev. Holcombe, Rev. Dr. Johnson, Father Curran, and the other members of the Religious Exercise Subclass are likely to succeed in showing that Defendants’ conduct violates their constitutional and statutory free exercise rights. Although the Religious Exercise Plaintiffs and Subclass Members subscribe to differing religious creeds, all share the fundamental belief that their faith calls upon them to pray, sing religious songs, preach, or proselytize at the site of DHS’s immigration enforcement actions. They do so for the spiritual benefit of detained migrants and their families, federal agents, and community members who come to protest.

The plaintiffs are trying to move for discovery. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71559...
In addition, Plaintiffs do not know—and cannot know—all of the times that Defendants have used riot control munitions in this District, though Plaintiffs have spent significant efforts trying to identify these incidents. Simply put, Plaintiffs want to know whether Defendants have a list or documents pertaining to other incidents in this District that should have been reported, as one would expect incidents with tear gas on residential streets, arrests of journalists or protestors, the pepper spraying of clergy in the face would be subject to reporting and documentation. If there are simply too many violent acts to even count, the government should disclose that and permit the parties to confer about these issues.

Here is the Project 2025 summary of the plan for special education, for those who will be inclined to say, "I didn't vote for this!"

People can make their own judgements on whether this promise was kept.
Except from Project 2025 Document Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) houses nearly two dozen programs, ranging from funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf to Special Olympics Funding and the American Printing House for the Blind. l Most IDEA funding should be converted into a no-strings formula block grant targeted at students with disabilities and distributed directly to local education agencies by Health and Human Service’s Administration for Community Living.

The idea certainly is, if not the exact term.
Quote from Carl Schmitt's "Political Theology Four Chapters on the Concept of Sovereignty." https://platypus1917.org/wp-content/uploads/Political-Theology_-Four-Chapte-Carl-Schmitt.pdf All law is "situational law. " The sovereign produces and guar antees the situation in its totality. He has the monopoly over this last decision. Therein resides the essence of the state's sovereignty, which must be juristically defined correctly, not as the monopoly to coerce or to rule, but as the monopoly to decide. The exception reveals most dearly the essence of the state's authority. The decision parts here from the legal norm, and (to formulate it paradoxically) authority proves that to produce law it need not be based on law.
