Trump’s funding cancellation violates budget law, GAO says (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Government Accountability Office reaffirmed its opinion Tuesday that “pocket rescissions” are illegal, dealing a modest blow to President Donald Trump’s announcement last week of plans to cancel $810 million in spending without the approval of Congress. In a letter to congressional leaders, the GAO — the investigative arm of Congress — doubled down on its position that the administration would violate a 1974 budget law by trying to rescind, or cancel, in the closing days of the fiscal year,
‘Unsustainable’ fiscal path, debt limit fight awaits Congress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A grim new milestone for U.S. debt and surging interest rates haven’t sparked much urgency for a new round of deficit cutting on Capitol Hill. Yet.

While the Republican-controlled committee could normally approv
Critics mount offensive against change to federal grant rules (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Opposition is building to a sweeping government-wide crackdown on federal grant awards, with opponents threatening litigation over a proposed rule that would put the grant approval process into the hands of political appointees. A request for public comment on the rule by the Office of Management and Budget triggered almost half a million responses, most of them opposed to the changes. Stand Up for Science, a nonprofit advocacy group that organized opposition to the proposed rule, said it was “p
