Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders condemned Trump’s order to freeze all federal loans and grants, calling it a “dangerous move towards authoritarianism” and “blatantly unconstitutional.”

The directive, exempting Social Security and Medicare, is expected to impact universities, nonprofits, food assistance programs, health centers, and disabled veterans.

Sanders emphasized that Congress holds the “power of the purse” and urged Americans to oppose the order.

Attorneys general are preparing legal challenges to overturn the freeze.

    And there it is! The both-sides-bad anti-liberal argument you always hear from a Tankie who probably supported Trump from the start.

          The more you explained your point the less support you got. How do you think you have more support here dude? You’re way in the negatives.

          Fuck why am I arguing with someone who can’t figure out one digit numbers. Have a nice one dude.

            Most people wouldn’t waste time looking past the first couple of comments, you already outed yourself as an authoritarian promoting centrism.
