Federal Judge Rules DOGE's Humanities Grant Cuts Unlawful and Unconstitutional

U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon ruled that DOGE's 2025 termination of National Endowment for the Humanities grants to ACLS, AHA, and MLA was unlawful and unconstitutional, lacking statutory authority and violating First Amendment and equal-protection rights; the decision notes DOGE staff in their 20s with little humanities experience and that they used ChatGPT to justify DEI-based terminations without reviewing applications, and it blocks enforcement while the Authors Guild case proceeds.
