Technically this is the purview of Congress….
This all to break down everything and build a thoroughly fascist state.
Well I think they don’t actually yet realize that we won’t stand for it.
Get out and protest! There are lots of actions we can take but I personally like protesting/ in my small town. I don’t care if we are on national news. The people who most immediately count are the people in my small town who I hope will join or otherwise feel empowered (!!!).
Thank you. Politics is as much local as it is in DC. As they say, your councilperson, school board official and water board governor are just as important as the President and senator. Maybe even more. Thanks for being opposed to an authoritarian regime and lending your voice to this fight we're in.
🚨 TRUMP CAUGHT RED-HANDED 🚨
Trump tried to STEAL $14 BILLION in climate funds — a FEDERAL JUDGE had to STOP HIM! This is outright THEFT for his corrupt cronies.
🔥 THEY WANT TO KILL CLIMATE ACTION! SHARE THIS NOW — THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW! 🌍👊
Ridiculous. Spending is the Congress's responsibility.
Take your salary trump, if you need money.
File taxes each year and pay your fair share like everyone else.
Leave the taxpayers and the country's money alone.
That is not your job.
Who is going to enforce it? This administration has shown many times that it has no respect for the rule of law, and the GOP elected officials are just letting them do whatever they want. Democrats continue to sit back and watch and do nothing, as well.
Key question. Where were they going to deposit the money? What government entity? When will that entity be reporting said balances? Guessing whatever happened to USAID funding will shine some light.
Yes most people who have social security get their payments direct deposited so they have all of our bank accounts, Social Security numbers and all personal data.
Yes indeed. Fear I will be sent to Room 101. Sad day when they can simply go into a bank account and take everything. Maybe lumpy mattresses and holes full of Mason jars in the garden again?? 🕊️ 💗
And these are billionaires who have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes, but they want yours too. They think life is a zero-sum game of Monopoly where the game isn't over until they have everything and everyone else has nothing.
exactly - when is enough enough, win and scorch earth at all costs? Called the judiciary courts thanking them for stopping the looting and encouraged them to continue to do so. Gosh this is madness.
He has no sense of protecting our countries irreplaceable National Parks! He has no loyalty and no sense of decency!!! He.must.not be allowed to cut any trees!! Not a.single one!!!
I really don’t understand how Trump has the ability to withdraw ANY MONEY, especially $14 billion in a climate grant! I thought Congress was in charge of the government’s checkbook!
HEY! I don’t know about you, but I had plans 🗒️🖋️, projects I was going to work on this new year. Saving democracy 🇺🇸 was not on my agenda! But here we are. So, let’s get to it. You in?
trump is a petty thief! He tried to steal an election he lost and whined about over and over; now he's robbing bank accounts to steal the resources put aside to protect our climate - never mind withdrawing Democracy, RofLaw & the Constitution from America - make America lose again w/trump!
If they can do this for climate change money, what’s stopping them from clawing back everyone’s social security or VA or tax return or any other kind of deposit? It’s why they went after the Treasury and IRS data bases. They have your banking info.
#LordDampnut is gonna disappear that money just like he did those people. Once you disobey the law, you stop being president and you become a dictator. Plain and simple
...was probably going to go into Elon's pockets on behalf of Trump as a way of helping him with all Tesla losses, because of course he owes Musk bigly for "winning" the election for him
Weeks ago, I moved $ from accts the gov’t has direct deposited taxes/payroll into, & keep min balance. Same bank, but they don’t have those acct #s. Can’t trust $ won’t “accidentally” get pulled & leave me fighting to get my $ back. Especially since I’m one of the lazy civil servants who got PSLF.
Keep in mind, you need 2/3 Senate vote to impeach a Federal judge. Judges likely to be one of the only checks on power we have ATM. This is something to keep an eye on moving forward.
Freeze him out. That money is to regulate businesses, so in 20 years, we can still drink the water, breathe the air, and use the soil to plant food without threat of those things being so polluted we die/are diseased.
Will be interesting to see if the fascist trump regime obeys court orders.
MAGAs have no respect for the rule of law. Only way to stop a maga from breaking the law is to physically stop them by jail or just physically stopping them.
I freaking despise D.T. Why is he such a bitter, horrible, hateful, old man? It’s a rhetorical question. Sometimes I just have to vent a little. 😳🙄🤦♀️☮️💙
Members of Congress should stop their retribution investigations and do their damn jobs regarding our taxpayers dollars. Congress approved that spending, and could reauthorize it. The POTUS cannot use our taxpayer funds for his or his slackies benefit. Talk about out of control government.
Well, they're being so blatant about shit, why do they not just create for themselves a new banner/logo, a big fat orange fist full of money. I would rather my tax dollars go to any and every last effing thing they're slashing than into their grubby pockets.
Out of all the aweful shit they are doing, the climate stuff makes me the most sad. We are all impacted by that and it was starting to become a bipartisan issue.
They can restrict access if fraud is suspected, but if authorized signers are trying to access funds, they need for there to be legal orders to stop it, I believe.
Thank you for the information.
So where is the conversation of how we all come together, march to DC, and take our fucking country back from these obvious terrorists?!
There are tens of millions of us! It would be quite easy to remove them all and put them directly in a jail cell! Come on y'all!

It would suck if so many people went to protest Orange Turd in your turf
Or bring out signs that say "F*ck Trump"
That would just be soooo sad 🤷♀️🚨

Rhetorical question: where is the evidence the trump regime has any intention of obeying court orders
AND PUT IT WHERE.
Please save us from monstrous and brutal executive overreach!
We see you. We need you. Thank you.

Is there any oversight at all?
You might be able to get it through your library (https://hoopladigital.com or https://overdrive.com)
Try to kick him out of your head. You'll be able to resist better.
This might help:
They were looting the funds already allocated.
