![Plaintiffs, who have easily established their standing to bring this case and irreparable harm, have shown they are likely to prove the Termination and Enforcement Threat Provisions are unconstitutionally vague on their face.
But it is not just the vagueness of the Challenged Provisions that renders them
unconstitutional. There is a label for government action that seeks to "deter ... principles," J21 Order § 4(b)(iii), that the government disagrees with: "restrictlion]" of
"expression because of its message, its ideas, its subject matter, or its content." Reed v.
Town of Gilbert, 576 U.S. 155, 163 (2015). And the most "blatant" and "egregious form of content discrimination" is viewpoint discrimination. Id. at 168-69. The Certification and Enforcement Threat Provisions squarely, unconstitutionally, "abridgel] the freedom of speech." U.S. Const. amend.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.
