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.

    I’m trying to say we need to support Democrats unconditionally if we want anything to improve. Any Democrat is better than Any Republican.

    Whats your example on 5?

            Democrats: Campaign Finance Laws, Tax the Rich, Saving the Planet, Medical for All, Nobody is Above the Law, Keeping Peace in the Middle East, Standing Up Against Hostile Dictators

            Republicans: Destroy Academics, Pregnant Child Brides, Bribes are Good, POTUS is a King, OIL OIL OIL OIL, Putin’s their Friend, Cut Taxes for the Rich and Raise for Everyone Else

            It shouldn’t even be a contest and yet somehow here we are.

          In optimization problems where you are trying to find the minimum or maximum, you can get stuck in a local valley/crest where one option looks better than any other nearby options but if you move far enough away, you start getting even better options.

            There is no middle option until after we let progressive reform happen.

            This isn’t an optimization algorithm. This is dog training. Two thirds the dogs are taught lies and one third left to fend for themselves, and the lies are more effective.

            The DNC wants to pass all the reforms we want to see, but we’re being taught the opposite is true and never giving them enough votes to make it happen.

          Any American politician that helps your country fall or divide is better for the rest of the world.

            I called it, you’re a Trump supporter.

            The USA is at the helm of NATO, which protects the majority of the worlds democracies from the two largest militaristic expansionist dictatorships of the world China and Russia.

            The fall of the USA will herald the darkest and most cruel point in human history, with more total suffering of people based on status than has ever occurred, if we’re not already experiencing it now.
