![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 25A269
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, ET AL. . AIDS VACCINE ADVOCACY COALITION, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[September 26, 2025]
On September 3, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia entered a preliminary injunction directing the Executive to obligate roughly $10.5 billion of appropriated aid funding set to expire on September 30. Of that $10.5 billion, $4 billion was proposed to be rescinded in a "special message" transmitted pursuant to the Impoundment Control Act. See 2 U. S. C. §681 et seq. After the District Court and the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied stays of that order, the Government filed this application to stay the District Court's injunction. The application for stay presented to THE CHIEF JUSTICE and by him referred to the Court is granted. The Government, at this early stage, has made a sufficient showing that the Impoundment Control Act precludes respondents' suit, brought pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act,
to enforce the
appropriations at issue here. The Government has also made a sufficient showing that mandamus relief is unavailable to respondents. And, on the record before the Court, the asserted harms to the Executive's conduct of foreign affairs appear to outweigh the potential harm faced by respondents. This order should not be read as a final determination on the merits. The relief granted by the Court today reflects our preliminary view, consistent with](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreibdxyhd77jme45c7r7yn4xcbextd75efeqweqmtqf76jq3qsfxb2y@jpeg)

![One potential use is as a TV remote. "Once you start using it regularly, you put it on your wrist and you just start using it every day, it becomes infuriating that you're not using it for more things like picking up a TV remote," Bosworth says. "We think the opportunity for this to be a bigger input platform over time is really big."
We also talked about the possibilities for typing, something Meta's research groups have discussed in the past. Bosworth says two neural bands would be needed, but it's being explored. "A really fun thing happens when you have two of these, you could also do typing. That's not a guarantee. We can do typing with downward-facing cameras pretty effectively, but [they're] expensive," he adds.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hakzua5btcgcfjye2yujlhos/bafkreic2y2yvl34vmeve73np6b2bqne5utmpzvzxzrirnogwqwrrtazt7u@jpeg)
