The Executive-Order Slush Pile
Briefly

The article outlines two controversial proposals that were drafted but not signed by the White House. The first, titled 'Embracing Diversity in Social Science,' proposed federal funding for the McMahon Center for Gender Studies and the Hegseth Journal of Women's History, among others. However, it was rejected over concerns related to the use of a specific font. The second proposal, 'Maintaining Peace Through Preparation,' sought to construct a Gundam fleet beneath Congress as part of national defense strategy but was rejected due to preferences expressed by influential figures in the administration.
The proposal outlined in the article to embrace diversity in social sciences would provide federal funding for initiatives focused on gender studies and women's history, yet was ultimately not signed into law.
Another proposal which aimed to enhance national security through the construction of a Gundam fleet beneath Congress was rejected due to preference over another anime series.
