Now we see if the agencies and the OMB respond by issuing the past-due funds, or if they will delay, appeal, and misinform the courts about their actions.

Russell Vought, head of the OMB and one of the authors of Project 2025, is a proponent of the right-wing theory that the President has the power to unilaterally withhold payments for programs created by an act of Congress, even when that authority is not specifirled in the act.

Good news! Courts continue standing up to 47. We continue moving towards a dictatorship. We the People need to rise up and tell Congress to recover their spines or get out of the way.

The unitary executive theory is a fascist theory, not championed by the Founders.
