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.
Republicans, everyone who voted for him and everyone who decided to not vote or to vote for third parties all decided that he should be king.
Absolutely. There are also Dems in Congress/Senate that have been voting yea to his bills. It’s disgusting.
“Yeah, every single Republican hates us and are openly corrupt, but like 2 Dems (usually caucusing Independents) are also bad.”
Im confused, are we supposed to pretend that there aren’t also democrats that are voting for Trump initiatives? Because trying to remove accountability for that seems idiotic.
Im not understanding what you’re trying to say. There are five or so Democrats voting for Trumps antics. And yes, all the Republicans vote down the line, that’s what they do.
Many people that voted for Bernie in 2016 voted for Trump in 2024. Many people eople who voted for Trump in 2024 also voted for AOC down ballot.
The Democratic party has basically made every single mistake they could possibly make in the last 8 years. To lost to fuckin Trump not once but twice is fuckin embarrassing.
Let’s see if they learn anything by 2028. I doubt they will but here’s to hoping.
Yeah the Neolibs would rather burn the country down than lose power.
We need a new leftist party that isn’t the Democrats.
I’m pretty sure that people who didn’t vote or voted for other candidates didn’t decide he should be king, kind of by definition.
Nah they saw the choices and didn’t care to participate in any meaningful way so they can’t just wash their hands of the choice they made.
“If you don’t want to eat your vegetables, then you can go to bed without dinner. Which do you want, vegetables or bed?”
“I WANT ICE CREAM!”
“That’s it! GO TO YOUR ROOM!”
“I DIDN’T VOTE FOR THIS!”
I mean, Harris got more votes than Biden did in the majority of the swing states. It’s okay to lay the blame squarely on the people who, you know, actually chose Trump.
