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.
What’s the last politician that legitimately had integrity? Besides Bernie.
Ehhhhhh. I like her somewhat. I appreciate that she calls shit out instead of trying to PR speak everything all the time.
But she has been caught lying or misrepresenting data a handful of times (I mean what political figure has ever told the truth 100% of the time).
That Photoshoot of her crying at the border just really rubbed me the wrong way. She could have posted photos of the actual camps or tried to shed light on the situation in a more direct way. The photos of her fake crying at some chain link fence just really sst wrong with me and it still does.
Not that she’s the first politician that ever staged a photo op in the history of the world, but I expect better from her ya know?
It’s important to be critical of people we support, but it’s also important not to throw the baby away with the bathwater.
OK, she took a photo you don’t like. Who the fuck cares? It’s politics. Does her policy positions agree with yours? That’s what’s important, not what she does to get attention on social media.
