As courts held repeatedly when President Nixon tried to withhold funds from programs with which he disagreed, the executive branch has no authority to impound funds.

Lofgren: Now, instead of the president weighing in, we’ve got him doing weird little dances as he lands in Asia, and he’s missing in action. The Senate is refusing to negotiate across party lines, and the House of Representatives isn’t even meeting. I mean, I’ve never seen anything like this.

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.” It also warns of cuts due to “Congressional Republicans and President Trump” in the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

He's taking away healthcare for millions. He gets a thrill out of killing people on the open seas. He wants you to hate. Dwell on that – he wants you to hate. He's demanding our justice department pay him $230,000,000. He thinks he owns the country.

He is a clear and present danger.

Yeah. One more thing: hope many folks can this genocidal madman bamboozle or force to sacrifice themselves for him. Oh, one more. How feckless, ineffective, disorganized can the 75% of folks in this country be?

If we’re driven so much by who likes us, or who we influence, culture dries up into a raisin, and the competition to be creative, dominate, conquer, obliterates our selves. Narcissism and fascism takes hold.

GOV. WALZ: “This is not both sides. This is owned by Republicans. Dems are willing to come back and protect what passed, not let an authoritarian president do whatever he wants… people will be lined up to get food and we’re talking about a damn ballroom? DON’T LOSE THE PLOT.”

When I hear tRump say crazy shit like this it just baffles my mind that people thought he was the better choice over an exceptional candidate because of her sex and color.
Our people wouldn’t be digging in dumpsters to feed their families and the world wouldn’t hate us.
