    How does the President have such wide control over government spending when that’s supposed to be Congress’s constitutional responsibility?

    Because it’s on Congress to push back when another branch oversteps its power, and more than half of it is actively cheering on the destruction of our society. I can’t speak to whether we’ll have free and fair midterms, but if we do, electing leftists to congress would be vital to stymieing the damage quickly.

    But, yeah, who knows. That’ll take at least 2 years. MAGA has already done incalculable damage, and it’s been 2 weeks.

      Or the court system! Which was packed by Trump, And supposedly presiding over a case where the defendant is the man who gave you the job doesn’t require recusal. Absolutely shameful.
