Senator denounces order to pause all funding and says it’ll have ‘devastating impact’ on ‘most vulnerable people’ in US

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.

    The Democrats (there’s five or six of them)

    I can see how your first comment would be construed as if there was a way more significant number of them

    The Democrats (there’s five or six of them)

    Which part of 5 or 6 is confusing you?

    The number is 6. Is that even more confusing ? Was it because I wrote the words instead of the number? How few Democrats do you think are in the party?
