Trump can slash hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of research funding in its push to cut federal #diversity, #equity & #inclusion efforts, the SCOTUS decided Thursday.

The *high* [I’ll say] court majority lifted a judge’s order blocking $783 million worth of cuts made by the #NIH to align with Trump’s priorities. #SCOTUS did keep #Trump admin guidance on future funding blocked, however.

The court split 5-4 on the decision. Chief Justice #JohnRoberts was along those who would have kept the cuts blocked, along with the court’s 3 liberals.

That kind of conspiracy theory falls below the idea that maybe this is just how the executive branch is set up.

We don't have to reach for that kind of thing to explain this. This is just how separation of powers works.
