Senator denounces order to pause all funding and says it’ll have ‘devastating impact’ on ‘most vulnerable people’ in US

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.

    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.
