Rachel Maddow sounds alarm over aggressive DOGE raid: It's "armed assault on the U.S. government" - LGBTQ Nation
A days-long stand-off at the US Institute for Peace included the DC Metropolitan Police. “You can't just use guns to force your way in," Maddow said.

And, here's the central part of McConnell's reasoning:
The Executive's statement that the Executive Branch has a duty "to align Federal spending and action with the will of the American people as expressed through Presidential priorities," (ECF No. 48-1 at 11) (emphasis added) is a constitutionally flawed statement. The Executive Branch has a duty to align federal spending and action with the will of the people as expressed through congressional appropriations, not through "Presidential priorities." U.S. Const. art. II, § 3, cl. 3 (establishing that the Executive must "take care that the laws be faithfully executed .."). Federal law specifies how the Executive should act if it believes that appropriations are inconsistent with the President's priorities-it must ask Congress, not act unilaterally. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 specifies that the President may ask that Congress rescind appropriated funds.? Here, there is no evidence that the Executive has followed the law by notifying Congress and thereby effectuating a potentially legally permitted so-called "pause."

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

Tomorrow's NASA's Astronomy Picture Of the Day (APOD): colliding spiral galaxies by JWSTand Hubble.
🔭 🧪
Two spiral galaxies take up almost the entire view and appear to be overlapping. The galaxy at left, IC 2163, is smaller and more compact than the galaxy at right, NGC 2207. The black background of space is dotted with foreground stars and extremely distant galaxies.
