I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt. Democracy Docket members will receive my latest on this and more in their inboxes tomorrow. Join now.

Because these funds come solely from DC taxpayers, this action doesn't bring any cost savings to the federal budget. This is not an act of fiscal responsibility. This is a purely political, punitive action with no impact on the federal budget, but will have a detrimental impact on people's lives.

NEWS: The USAID official put on leave for disseminating two memos about Rubio's failure to push through life-saving foreign aid was in the process of writing a THIRD memo when fired. We obtained it. It's far more alarming than the first two.

Hamas kidnapped a 4-year-old and a 9-month old and a month later one of its terrorists murdered them with their bare hands. Pure evil.

1/NEW: My colleagues Robbie Gramer & Daniel Lippman & I address the question on many peopleâs minds in Washington: Is Trump going to shut down USAID? (This version is behind a paywall, but Iâll post the free version once itâs available in the coming hour):

POLITICO Pro: Trump is wreaking havoc at USAID. Is the goal to shut it down?
The presidentâs failure to name a USAID administrator and other steps seem to suggest that, at the very least, heâll fold USAID into the State Department.

The OMB impoundment memo's consequences aren't just about disrupting, in a profound way, *current* funds. It also makes it extremely hard to negotiate *future* spending deals if no one at the table can trust that the executive branch will actually stick to the deal at the execution phase.

Just re-upping this fantastic explainer thread, on how an EO cannot just rename an international body of water, and we need to stop describing patently illegal EOs as "doing" the things they legally cannot do. And if any big international corp (Apple, Google) buckles, hope other countries push back
