Who understands how federal money moves? How does the Trump Admin. get its grubby hands on money to, for example, pay the gulags in El Salvador, and could congress cut off its supply? Who actually administers the federal money at the level of banks/distribution/etc.? 1/3

Goodnight. Take care of yourselves. In the Bible, laments are expressions of love & grief for what has been lost or might have been. We weep for the world. The trick is to weep and still hope. Prayers for our broken world and our shattered country. The Lord bless you & keep you!
