New series of articles up. Part 3 drops tomorrow open.substack.com/pub/woodwind...

For the legal wonks: Is the Trump administration's blanket cancellation and reversal of government grants and appropriations at odds with section 4 of the 14th amendment? @scotus-blog.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @kimwehle.bsky.social
