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.
Yep, and austerity kills people. If you want to force the Pentagon to pass an audit before giving them another penny, be my guest, but “the government” isn’t wasteful.
Also even if everything ends up being funded again, this put a whole ton of needless stress on people wondering if they’re gonna get paid.
That’s my point, tax the rich.
