.I still don't get how what happened at U.S. A.I.D (and now Education) isn't clearly impoundment of congressionally appropriated dollars. Seems like judges don't want to touch that until the Comptroller General weighs in (who seems to be taking their sweet time)?

Maybe the Comptroller doesn't want to get fired before his 15 year term is up so is waiting to see what happens? Only Congress can shutter statutory departments and organizations like USAID and DoEd. So they still exist but they are trying to bring their activity as close to 0 as possible (which is also illegal impoundment of funds). I don't get why they turned on USAID so abruptly. Maybe Musk wants to reignite HIV/AIDS to scourge subsharan Africa as revenge for turning the screws on the Apartheid Government of his homeland. I'm not even joking.
Yeah the right wing has always used foreign aid as a scapegoat but there's some backstory to Musk's seemingly personal U.S.A.I.D. vendetta that we may not fully know until years from now.
