Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

~~Just read the article, and I don't see any mention of a judge acting on anything.~~
Edit: Confirmed this was a cacheing issue
Unless it's changed since I posted, the first sentence is:
Strange. The first sentence it shows me is:
That's the version which was published about 30min before the version I posted. I suspect you're getting served an old version from a cache somewhere.
Here's coverage in the New York Times so you can see what is going on
That would explain it.
Handed down by U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan for the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Case is filed before DDC as 1:25-cv-00239 Brief and prayer for relief here. The official order isn't even up yet, this whole thing is moving at light speed. Parties are to file before the Court Feb. 3 no later than 11 am EST.
UPDATE: Here's doc13 from the DDC with the order. I knew they'd get it out tonight, it just takes time to get that physically banged into the system.
ALSO PART OF THE SAME UPDATE: Word is that the NSF Director, Sethuraman Panchanathan, is telling folks to just ignore the Judge. Hmm.... Anyone want to ask any of the Judges on the DDC about contempt charges? But in all fairness likely guy just wants Sauron's gaze off his back. I'm pretty sure EOP staff close to Trump are frothing over the chance to rip NSF into tiny shreds of paper.
Presumptive OMB Director Russ Vought is hot to test out his take on the 1974 Impoundment Control Act, which has been that the law in full is unconstitutional. I figure this is their first step towards getting the law in front of SCOTUS. They are absolutely itching to push on how the current court feels about "power of the purse". And like I said, Vought has kept no secrets. He absolutely believes that Congress can write checks, but the President can pick when to cash them or not, as an intended check on "the relentless spending by Congress."
This guy is literally gunning for some Congressional power. Let's see how well that plays out. For all we know, the cucks in Congress will let Trump's OMB do it.
