And if this were Congress passing a budget then people would be upset but wouldn't be calling it illegal.
There's a huge difference between Congress passing a budget (within its constitutional powers) and the Executive just killing anything and everything that seems "woke" them with no legislative authorization.

Not that they do it in identical ways, nor analogous ways. The demand for an analogy was a strawman predicated on such. I'm open to the idea both sides have done it lawfully and/or unlawfully.

If the executive can unilaterally decide to allocate funds to wherever it wants while ignoring Congress, then Congress is no a coequal branch and our constitutional order is dead.
