The administration hasn’t necessarily demonstrated that they care about court rulings.

The fact that they cancelled funds that were already obligated is wild, and there’s now the risk that they can claw back distributed funds right out of your bank account like they did in NYC.

This is exactly what they did to USAID. All obligated funds cancelled and assistance came to a loud, screeching halt.
