stripping OMB of the ability to dole out grants is an enormous win, this nukes the SAVE act, it prohibits further ICE bailouts, adding a "no, really, trump can't break already on-the-books laws regarding elections the federal government doesn't run" clause would be both unnecessary and unproductive

One of my favorite students last year was a COVID orphan, sir. She's one of several I've had. I can't count the ones who lost just one parent. Maybe, just maybe, the closures aren't the things that fucked up the kids.
