What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The administration used a rare authority to claw back nearly $1 billion in spending approved by Congress, targeting immigrant services and diversity-focused initiatives. Separately, the Supreme Court turned away an attempt to use a new Missouri congressional map backed by Donald Trump. The high court also granted Donald Trump a temporary win regarding restrictions on a federal voter database.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The funding cut was condemned by Senator Susan Collins, who stated the action was an unreported impoundment and a usurpation of Congress’s appropriations power. This move involves the administration using contested power to challenge Congressional appropriations authority.

The Supreme Court is currently hearing appeals regarding executive orders on mail voting, which coincides with a legal challenge to the Missouri redistricting map.
