Things I care about: not being hit by a car, excellent views, fancy produce, grant/research administration.

Spent my weekend riding bikes and camping in the San Gabriels with my fave gender expansive cycling collective. It is wild to think about how different LA was when I decided to do this all of 2 weeks ago.

View from the train: pretty quiet on Alameda outside MDC. Lots of LAPD vehicles lined up on neighboring streets.

![Official letter from the Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget, dated March 29, 2025, addressed to Vice Chair Patty Murray.
Transcribed Text:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503
THE DIRECTOR
March 29, 2025
The Honorable Patty Murray Vice Chair Committee on Appropriations United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Vice Chair Murray:
I write to inform you that the Office of Management and Budget will no longer operate and maintain the publicly available automated system to which apportionments are posted envisioned in section 204 of division E of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023.
OMB has determined that it can no longer operate and maintain this system because it requires the disclosure of sensitive, predecisional, and deliberative information. By their nature, apportionments and footnotes contain predecisional and deliberative information because they are interim decisions based on current circumstances and needs, and may be (and are) frequently changed as those circumstances change.
Such disclosures have a chilling effect on the deliberations within the Executive Branch. Indeed, these disclosure provisions have already adversely impacted the candor contained in OMB's communications with agencies and have undermined OMB’s effectiveness in supervising agency spending. Moreover, apportionments may contain sensitive information, the automatic public disclosure of which may pose a danger to national security and foreign policy.
I value OMB's longstanding relationship with the Committee and I am committed to working with you to provide information on apportionments that may be of interest to the Committee.
Sincerely,
[Signature]
Russell T. Vought Director](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:emdteihffafmefsbv4sls4wy/bafkreicjw3ieanfocghabrzv6dmmqggyozxe4n6r6jxhc6bjpeeapou6cm@jpeg)
