They’re trying to get around it by saying this does not actually shut down the DoE. All this executive order does is instruct Linda to, like, wind down operations, basically everything except collecting loans, surprise surprise. That way they can say they haven’t closed the department and therefore it’s not illegal. This is no doubt to buy time hoping that midterms give them a bigger majority to actually close it with Congress.
