You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

"Developing a device that could treat severe bleeding. It seems to have caught the committee’s attention for using the words “victims” — as in gunshot victims — and “trauma.” Creating biosensors to detect infectious diseases. The grant appears to have been tagged for the repeated use of “POC,” an acronym often used for “people of color” but in this context meaning “point of care” — that is, the place where people receive medical treatment — and “barrier,” referring to a part of the biosensor itself. Designing eye-tracking technology for diagnosing and treating concussions. It appears to have gotten flagged for referencing “traumatic” brain injuries and the “status,” meaning the condition, of patients."
ProPublica looked into science grants that Ted Cruz's team flagged as "radical" and "neo-Marxist" and, uh.

how we got here The Right Uses Messaging as a Weapon—We Must Fight Back For decades, Far Right Extremists have dominated the conversation. Progressives have passion, policies, and the numbers—but we’ve been playing defense for too long. The Problem: Far Right Extremists use simple, emotional messaging—division is the goal. They define the media narrative quickly, forcing us to be reactive. They invest in messaging infrastructure, from think tanks to social media influencers. The Lesson: The Extreme Right didn’t win overnight. They spent decades building think tanks, funding media, and training messengers to shape public opinion. It’s time we do the same.
how we start Messaging That Wins— A Four-Step Plan CREATE Craft messaging that is simple, emotional, and engaging. No jargon. No policy-speak. If it can’t fit on a bumper sticker, it’s too complicated. EQUIP Equip activists, leaders, and influencers with strong messaging skills. Every progressive should be able to confidently communicate our ideas in a way that excites people. FRAME Set the narrative early—and stop waiting for fairness. Far Right Extremists create simple, emotional messages and repeat them relentlessly. We must define the real threats (TheHoarding Class, Extreme Christian Nationalists) first—using facts, but framing them in ways that resonate with real people. EXPOSE Shut down misinformation fast. Don’t repeat misinformation —provide facts from reputable sources that contradict viral misinformation. Messaging is power. Let’s use it.
We need to change our approach. This is a great framework

Maybe no one is listening. But we must continue to ask why. What justifies it all?

Hearing from a govt contractor that Dept of Education is terminating What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) contracts.
WWC is a website that rigorously evaluates education policies, programs, and products to determine what's effective and not. It's an invaluable tool for school, district, state leaders
This includes for existing contracts and grants that already went through peer review and are in the field
