People I know on federal contracts and/or grants are being told today that their work might stop later today. This is the new homeland security, apparently: anarchy? We need government. It protects vulnerable people and keeps civil society intact.

FYI, the group "Choose Democracy" just put out an email on the same subject calling it an administrative coup. Here are 2 of their suggestions -

** "Urge media to cover this story properly. This is not "possibly illegal" — it's "patently illegal."... It's not "temporary" — it's "indefinite." There's no timetable for ending it. It's not just a memo — it's an administrative coup.

** "Urge your Representatives to act like this is a big deal. If you know us, this isn't a knee-jerk action we suggest. We think this is strategic because it's Congress that's being violated — their power is being directly undermined."
