The Trump administration’s attempt to withhold federal funding is fueling a long-brewing legal battle over the core constitutional principle that Congress gets to decide how to spend taxpayer money.

“Long brewing?” It’s been explicitly illegal since 1974. Just because Russ vought thinks the constitution doesn’t matter anymore doesn’t mean you can’t call it what it is.
I think Senator James Lankford is lying about what the GAO found!!!!
Check the GAO records;
1️⃣Did the Audit at all
2️⃣If(!)the did Audit, was it a "financial audit"
3️⃣If(!)it was a financial audit, GAAS requires(!!!) a"written opinion"that meet certain professional standards:check the Auditor's📝opinion
Speaker of The House& Elon Musk are lying about what exists in Social Security!His team aren't professional Auditors,don't even know what AICPA GAAS stands for,much less use.I was Auditor in NY Tax Department;& KNOW he's lying!Others found huge Musk huge"errors" he had to admit! @sanders.senate.gov
https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-24-106770 the GAO Did Not do a financial audit! What they did was a "Compliance Audit";using estimates from other sources (not numbers they directly found);only examining Social Security's Compliance to its own policies!
https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-24-106770.pdf 👈🏽page 26 and Footnote 15👀
Examining these 2 items,will make it obvious this was a"Compliance Audit" that wasn't used to find it's own evidence that verified any of the numbers. Their "estimates" AREN'T from their own Audit's findings,but instead quoted other's estimates!
trump is above the law

GOP Congress will do what ever trump tells it to do..or face being Primaried
and they are all chicken$hit yellow bellied cowards too intent on guzzling Taxpayer $, to the max, to push back
Bravo pour votre normalisation du discours sur le 51ième état avec Mike Waltz, vous êtes pathétique! Finir son commentaire sans aller plus loin et lui demander sa prédiction pour le Superbowl... Wow, du grand journalisme
That clip of trump threatening the Governor of Maine is SHOCKING!!! The man is a monster. Bravo to Gov. Mills for standing up to him! 🙌 “See you in court.”
The rebranding of DEI as a negative influence was done to create a cudgel to hide the racism and sexism of the MAGA movement. Look at the military firings and it’s only too evident. Black Generals and female officers. Transparent.
Please replace Kristin Welker with someone who will actually ask the tough questions. Someone who will get tough with Maga and not sit back and accept the shit they say. Chuck Todd was soft on these things also. Put Katie Porter into that position. She will know how to take them on.

Good solution to big part of the budget deficit: cut the🇺🇸"Space Program";much of the funding going to SpaceX!

Good start to cut!
Cut the "Space Program". Cut the electric 🚗 government contracts and subsidies.
