[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone had to bring the suit first. There have been SC decisions already halting what DOGE is doing in some cases, are those being followed? [/quote]

Roberts froze the order in the USAID funding suit which required the government to pay for work that has ALREADY been performed.

OP, this is already happening. They don’t care what’s in the budget for XYZ agency. They’re going to cut half the staff and the statutory mission anyway.

Did you see what they said about CFPB? They intended to cut it to “five men in a room with a phone.” Do you think any agency can perform its function with five people? That’s what they think of agencies. [/quote]

Again, CFPB is not subject to Congressional approps. USAID is a contractual issue. They would only have impounded funds if and when there are funds left over at the end of the fiscal year. Even the NIH issue is dubious -- councils have started meeting and funds are going out if VERY slowly. Most of the Medicaid/Head start and other funds frozen in Jan are back on.[/quote]

You entirely ignored the first part about the government refusing to pay for work performed. [/quote]
New poster- NIH Council meetings are not being held.  The IC at NIH where I worked, and recently retired says on Council meetings are being held and future ones are on hold.

I think this is part of the DOGE scam on asking for 5 bullet points.  They expect people to not have work to report because meetings to review applications by outside reviewers are not being held held (primary review) or by Council (secondary review).

Of course there is plenty of other work to do for planning for when these meetings are able to be held again, managing studies that still have funds, planning for future research priorities, etc. But in the meantime the heavy lifts for funding studies is on hold.
