Trump and his advisors are high on their own supply after getting away with so much in their first week. But they are going to regret this one. It’ll devastate red states that rely on this money for basic programs that keep people fed, clothed, alive. A huge unforced error politically and legally.

Trump is attempting to unilaterally freeze trillions of dollars in federal spending that’s been duly appropriated by Congress. This is completely insane and illegal. He’s seizing unlawful control over the constitutional spending power? Five alarm fire www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Maybe they're waiting for Pelosi to book Lin-Manuel Miranda again.
Straight shooter.
May it give the media the necessary verification to call a duck a duck.

unplugging the government & then turning it back on,
with their tweaks, of course,
to see if now it'll run right (& further & further Right).
The chaos this wreaks blows back on us all even,
ya know, THEM
C’mon, we’ve seen this before, time and again, and each time Roberts rolls over for Trump in the hopes that he’ll scratch his belly.
The only rational solution is for him to be tried, convicted, and imprisoned.
We do not have a king.
Those mf's might just like it
And besides, even if they didn’t, what makes anyone think there will be a real election in 2028? Trump is already eliminating anyone that will stand up to him when he tries to illegally run for a third term or denies his voter fraud lies.
--this is an end run around their power of the purse
--it's going to hurt their states, too, maybe more than blue states
