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.
Drawing attention to the outliers that vote against party lines is something that is often done by concern trolls to argue both sides are the same and sow apathy for democrats. This is most noticeable around election time.
You may not be trying to do that but your comment resembles what they would say. Usually blaming all democrats for the actions of a few going against the party.
The Democrats (there’s five or six of them) that are voting for Trumps insane bills need to be named and shamed. It doesn’t have have anything to do with “both sides”.
So name those Democrats instead of painting the whole party with the same brush as the Republicans
I never said all of them. You’re way over reacting. The ones that are voting for the bills are easily found on the gov site that documents bills.
The comment you replied to literally says five or six of them.
Here’s me naming and shaming them:
https://lemm.ee/post/53639210Notice it’s not the entire party like you dumbly assume for some reason.
If you don’t want those laws to pass, vote and vocally support parties in a way that opposes Republicans. Shitting on Dems in this context will give us: fuck all, jack shit, and a real bad time.
Republicans don’t shit on themselves and each other over all the horrible stuff they do. They celebrate it. And that strategy is winning against us.
Im not American, I’m just looking on in shock and horror at your two party system and the justifications you all seem to give your favourite team honestly.
If you’re not here to support the solution to the problem then fuck off, you’re not helping.
Yeah I’ll fuck off about your dumb ass countries politics when you stop trying to imperialize mine. The liberal do-nothingness that’s plagued your country is a bullshit attitude that is now affecting my country, and im not going to sit here and pretend it doesn’t piss me off.
I feel bad for Bernie. I never agreed with his politics 100% across the board but I have the utmost respect for the man. He has stuck to his guns basically since he started. It’s a real shame the Democrats shot him down to shove Hillary down our throats in 2016.
That was basically the moment when it became apparent that the Dems chose oligarchy. Had they let Bernie run and win, we wouldn’t be in this predicament. Had they chosen to prosecute crime instead of protect wealth, we wouldn’t be in this predicament.
Yeah but to prosecute crime would have involved going after many of their own voters and donors.
Gasp!
Integrity? Can’t have that!
What’s the last politician that legitimately had integrity? Besides Bernie.
AOC?
She voted against the railroad workers strike, so nah. She sold out to the DNC for a chance at power only for Pelosi to go assist her anyway.
She’s still one of the best politicians y’all have though. But that bar is so low it’s underground, so…
