Re: Public Statement of What is the Greatest Problem of Today’s Politics: Political Players Impoverishing the Public Associations and Persons Therein

 

Dear friends,

 

Provided here is a free reading of an article: Carolyn Y. Johnson and Joel Achenbach, “These 5 words have killed millions in grants and advanced Trump’s agenda,” The Washington Post, 27 March 2025.

No Longer Effectuates Agency Priorities

 

 

 

“The revision in November 2020 by Trump’s Office of Management and Budget stated that, ‘to the greatest extent authorized by law,’ a grant could be pulled if it ‘no longer effectuates the program goals or agency priorities.’”

“In the middle of a pandemic and a contentious election, not many people noticed the change in language buried inside a regulation like 2 CFR 200.340(a)(2). Now, after lurking mostly beneath the radar, five consequential words — “no longer effectuates agency priorities” — are being deployed by Trump’s appointees to kill grants unilaterally across the government and advance the president’s political agenda.”
