So the Federal judge that blocked Trump from slashing NIH funding, apparently the order is only applicable for the 22 Democratic states that sued so (for example) University of Alabama is not effected and their funding is theoretically cut.
While potentially insignificant in this case, one can see other actions where R states that refuse to file suit in Federal court basically lose out while D states that sue don't.
Wonder how this will go down in red states ... maybe they'll just take one for the fearless leader. #politics #fascism

Pretty sure he'd do it in a minute if he thought he could get royalties for the use of his name everytime someone mentioned the city name. [Note to historians, I realize that Lincoln Nebraska was not named until 1869 and Abraham Lincoln died in 1865 ... but pretty sure our president's knowledge of history doesn't extend this far.] #politics #trump #stupidity
