Trump using rare power to revoke expenditure with bipartisan approval to aid immigrant services
Donald Trump is canceling nearly $1bn in spending approved by Congress, the White House announced on Friday, using a rare and contested power to axe funding for immigrant services and diversity-focused initiatives.
Trump’s office of management and budget described the funding cut as focused on “the most harmful government spending”.
Most of the cuts are focused on services for immigrants, including non-profits that serve refugees and unaccompanied minors accused of being in the country illegally. The administration says the funds are no longer necessary because illegal border crossings have diminished considerably.
It’s not fucking “rare and contested.” It’s just blatantly violating the Constitution. Congress has control of the budget, not the president. It’s his job to execute on the law, not to pick and choose which laws to follow.
If that were true then the president couldn’t cancel it 🤷♂️
The president does a lot of things that he isn’t allowed until the courts tell him to fuck off. Just wastes valuable judge time having to babysit his every move because he doesn’t know what he is doing.
If murder is illegal then why are you dead? Boom, checkmate.
I mean, if the authorities don’t arrest/charge then functionally yes. This demented old pedo has legit killed hundreds of thousands through inaction during Covid and killed millions globally by letting that dipshit Musk gut USAID. He’s a murderer on par with any other fascist but will he see consequences?
