Some safe Dem in a +45 district needs to challenge this in court because if we don't get an actual declaration from the Court "sure, here's another way the president is actually king" then Republicans will immediately get a favorable, opposite ruling the minute a Democrat thinks they can do this too

President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.

Trump Signs Memo Expanding His Authority to Spend Federal Money

The president gave Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wide authority to repurpose funds to pay members of the military without approval from Congress, which has the sole constitutional authority to decide federal spending.

I wonder.... Who do you suppose is launching the MURDER MISSILES? Someone needs to remind the person pushing the button he/she is committing MURDER.
How much do each of these "strikes" cost us? What is the cost of the missiles? How much are taxpayers paying for this horror show in all?

We had 20billion dollars to give argentina. What's worse, argentina put oursoybean farmers out of business. We need a president who is not just looking out for his interests. Trump is having lavish parties, golfing and taking care of his business interests in other countries.

So Trump tells the media that he approved the CIA to conduct "covert" operations in Venezuela. The point of "covert" is don't let the enemy know. Well Donnie dumpling just told the world. WTF

It’s time for Trump to end the Republican Shutdown. This is about Americans’ healthcare. Restore ACA subsidies and Medicaid support and let’s get federal workers their pay back.

There were no delays and if there were, it certainly wouldn't be the fault of the Democrats.

The GOP is the culprit in this government shutdown.

Can someone please ask 41 year old Vance if he's a kid, a young boy who does stupid things? At least 2 of the MEN in the chat are 40 and the WOMAN who said she wants to see people burn is 28 w a master's degree. These aren't kids.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."
