This draconian so-called temporary pause threatens permanent harm to countless people in CT & nationwide. Havoc will be wrought on research facilities, health care providers, & innumerable other public interest causes. It sure looks like an illegal impoundment. - ThreadSky

He is in clear violation of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 which bars him from withholding money from congressionally mandated programs he doesn’t like.

Now, who among our elected officials & the legal system will show a backbone & stand up to this narcissistic autocrat?

I’d like to start seeing you and all other Democrats on TV daily screaming what he’s doing is illegal and unconstitutional. It’ll be two weeks tomorrow and it feels like 10 years. You guys need to do something. You guys meaning all Democrats.

Yes we know. And the plan is? Reward him by voting yes on his unqualified cabinet picks??

thanksihateit603.bsky.social•41 days ago

It's absolutely an unconstitutional impoundment. Stop pulling punches!

Is it possible to get a judicial injunction against this? We have children who are food insecure and need the meals their schools provid3.

Where are the Democrats? Where is the united message and action? https://adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-video-extreme-emergency?publication_id=1910658&post_id=155972742&r=e6u2w&triedRedirect=true&fbclid=IwY2xjawIG8a1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHc0SxqMDLSIaiDU_ijZ8DcSEUIkoHs8tHSOmy0gBMTiiX_5pZfepmKYKiw_aem_riFm-HegmM4DRBd9i29qgQ

The Democratic leadership is useless. - Registered Democrat. Worked on your campaigns. Guess that was a waste of my time. Did you pad your family’s portfolio nicely at our expense? Now in the face of fascism, you think simply giving us a play by play is helpful. Why did we send you to represent us?

STOP VOTING TO CONFIRM HIS FUCKING NOMINEES THEN YOU FECKLESS WORM

What we are seeing is the digital equivalent of the burning of the Reichstag. Trump intends to create mass chaos & then declare martial law. He's an inept sociopath & must rely on what has worked well in the past. In this case, that means reading from Hitler's script. I wish this were hyperbole.

Please speak up loudly and often in the Senate. We look to you for leadership.

So what are YOU going to do besides post on social media?

danielmgreenfield.bsky.social•41 days ago

My two cents: Thanks for calling attention to this outrage. However, the average American voter doesn’t know what an “impoundment” is. If you want to create a narrative, use simple language.

stevesdropper.bsky.social•41 days ago

Yes, we all get that. What is the Democratic Party going to do about it? And quickly!

mcalovescats.bsky.social•41 days ago

If only our elected Dem officials, say such as yourself, would do something. ANYTHING? Organize, flood the zone with information like the opposition does, just do something to show that you are fighting and not rolling over.

cburdick.bsky.social•41 days ago

You must have friends across the aisle who recognize the dangers that this represents. Find Republicans who won't let our country fall apart.

rlux.nyc•41 days ago

all those republicans are no longer in office.

cburdick.bsky.social•41 days ago

Good point.

hehebee.bsky.social•41 days ago

DO SOMETHING!!! The Democrats need to immediately act… WE NEED REAL LEADERS! Our country is falling into complete fascism

andreaeagle.bsky.social•41 days ago

You have to vote NO on all the rest of the picks. You see this, correct?

hersheykiss.com•41 days ago

Why is TRUMP unilaterally taking down America? What happened to the 3 equal branches of government? Have you people just given up??

DO SOMETHING!!

DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don’t have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely. Block Unanimous Consent. Max Out Debate Time. Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down.

lilwildcritters.bsky.social•39 days ago

Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, Vaught are all threats to our national security, our internal freedoms and our democratic systems. Please vote no on every nomination! It is bad enough we will already have Hegseth, Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi. Democracy is slipping away by inches...

adomeika.bsky.social•41 days ago

So what are Dems in Congress going to do?

billypa.bsky.social•41 days ago

The lagging economic impact from this will create a whipsaw effect and the price of eggs will follow the hyperinflationary trajectory that this foreign influenced plan intends.
