White House admits or doubles down? I would imagine this is less of an admission and more of a proclamation.

Two double downs makes a right!

From the lawsuit:

dynamic, semantic terms related to DEIA and generated a list of terms” for flagging grants. McLorg Decl. ¶ 8, Ex. E(1) at ¶ II Stipulation, Nos. 3 & 4 Resp. A review of terminated grants showed concentrations of titles containing “equity” (238 titles), “diversity” or “diverse” (103 titles), “community” (111 titles), “gender” (58 titles), “underrepresented” (50 titles), “inclusion” (45 titles), and “justice” (46 titles). 1st PI Order at 11, 15; see also McLorg Decl. ¶ 8, Ex. E(2) (NSF Grants Spreadsheet).
For NIH-HHS, the target list expanded over time. NIH-HHS implemented the Executive Orders through a series of internal directives requiring termination of grants in disfavored categories, beginning with “DEI-related” projects and expanding to include “gender,” “transgender issues,” “vaccine hesitancy,” and “COVID-19.” McLorg Decl. ¶ 7, Ex. D(1) at ¶ II Stipulation, Nos. 1-5, 3-4 Resp. NIH-HHS identified grants using a combination of grantee-specific terms and subject-matter keywords, including “work force diversity,” “structural racism,” “sexual orientation,” “health equity,” “diversity effects,” and “promote diversity, health equity.”
McLorg Decl. ¶ 7, Ex. D(1) at ¶ II Stipulation, Nos. 3 & 4 Resp.; see also id. Ex. D(2) (NIH-HHS Grants Spreadsheet). NIH-HHS further acknowledged that, in some instances, grants were identified on lists compiled by DOGE and provided to NIH-HHS, and that “[i]t is possible that DOGE used AI in compiling the grant lists it provided.” McLorg Decl. ¶ 7, Ex. D(1) at ¶ II

State of the art Artificial Stupidity

I dont think anyone should consume that much fried chicken.

Me neither, when I tried I failed and I live with the scars to this day.
