by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

Their job when someone in office violated the law is clear.
He is a TERRORIST and a TRAITOR
Act accordingly
WE ARE THE ANTS!
And I just cannot get myself to hope for the media or democrats to act accordingly.
The troubling thing is, I thought most Americans would hate what he's actually doing but it's mainly Dems that I see complain.
Or do their usual useless sycophancy to the broligarcy?!
We're about to have a lot of hungry kids and desperate parents. I just need to know how bad this is going to be.
take control.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Too bad Biden didn't get him to resign January 2022.
Too bad Trump got away with everything.
Trump will die one day but America is a dictatorship.
Project 2025 is being enacted EO by EO!
"Too bad MITCH didn't hold hearings on Garland."
"Too bad MITCH didn't vote to convict him so the House could bar him from ever running again."
"Too bad SCOTUS didn't enforce the 14th Amendment."
"Too bad the GOP didn't stop him from getting the nomination."
Dems tried. Rs didn't
He has both houses, impeachment for ANYTHING is not an option.
Of course we won’t be successful. But shouldn’t we at least make a fist?
Shall we start with a march on Mar-a-Lago?
fuck the Felon. He ran sham charity and CEO of several bankrupt companies. Now he has unlimited funds.
"Additionally, agencies must, for each Federal financial assistance program: (i) assign responsibility and oversight to a senior political appointee to ensure Federal financial assistance conforms to Administration priorities;"
File.
Not only did Nixon lose, Congress passed a new act explicitly prohibiting fiscal impoundment.
This is going to draw immediate lawsuits from states like California, New York and Illinois. They’ve got better lawyers than the chucklefucks Trump is installing at DOJ.
It’s happened before. The 14th Amendment was useless for almost 100 years.
We need her energy.
There are already 2 SCOTUS decisions that outlaw impoundment.
But w a Congress of MAGA insurrectionists and Wimpocrats, the Const seems no longer relevant.
Go WIMPOCRATS!
Do you have a plan meanwhile?
A massive constitutional crisis.
I mean, do they even realize they're next?
At least until the wannabe dictator and his minions block who we can connect with on the Internet.
I'm getting a massive North Korea vibe lately.
My other worry is how long BlueSky can stay independent. I had a dream that a takeover by some corporate leviathon was thwarted by the community that uses it coming together to save it from bad actors.
On the other hand, though -- I'm following you now.
Thanks for the follow by the way.
I am the first to call Trump fascist and this admin an authoritarian regime - but I'm also trying to keep both feet on the ground and not be reactionary while they flood the zone. Just trying to understand
No, you unleashed him - now he'll fuck over the nation and the world, while stealing all our money.
Truly, the Media is who stunningly failed.
I blame you all.
Trump already did this the first time around, when he illegally reprogrammed Congressionally-directed MILCON funds for ridiculous "Wall" projects (Which largely failed, BTW). He got away with it.
How do we get this in front of the American public? Someone wealthy would need to fund a TV campaign...
It could fail due to the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
Remember how they tried to block Hegseth? Remember how they failed? That's what votes are for.
No votes, no power. Why are you complaining when we didn't give them the power they need?
He showed everyone who he was decades ago.
The crisis is the Rep Congress/Senate, right wing media, donors, and voters who handed Trump the power to do - or at least try to do - everything we all knew he would.
And the whole thing since then is Trump acting like a child who tries to see how much they can get away with, without suffering serious consequences.
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary...
