Twenty-three states, including New Jersey, argued the clause was being weaponized in a nationwide funding purge targeting public safety, disaster prep, and clean water. Judge Indira Talwani sided with the states, calling the administration’s use of the clause arbitrary and vague — violating standard regulatory clarity. The government attempted to dismiss the case, but the judge rejected that effort. With the Office of Management and Budget silent for now, this ruling underscores how legal checks can rein in executive overreach — even when it comes to federal spending.
