Coverage notes the rescission is part of a broader Trump administration pattern to exert greater control over the U.S. government and erode congressional power, alongside federal worker firings, historic tariff increases, and initiating war with Iran without congressional authorization, placing the burden on the judicial branch to determine presidential limits.

Hey. It’s ok, folks. All the money that this administration is blocking that would go to immigrant healthcare and unaccompanied children will instead end up directed towards far more important causes, like adding dear leader’s name to every building in DC that is made of granite and the various vanity projects this corrupt administration wants to…

Patty Murray nails it: Russ Vought is telling Congress your votes don't count, and your laws are optional. This is the second time he's pulled this, and the Court already blessed the first billion-dollar heist. Republicans keep saying never again, then letting it happen again. Trump cancels $1B in federal s...

Who is "you" in this context? You're referring to every single US citizen? Super lame to cast such a wide net like that. When you arbitrarily bucket everyone into the nation-based bucket like that, it's reminiscent of the divisive language used by MAGA when it's convenient. So many US citizens have voted blue their entire lives, protested, donated…

They have abandoned their duty to the country to instead pursue political gains. The USA congress and the USA Supreme Court could stop this any minute they wanted to, but they’re happy to let things continue and achieve their objectives (Project 2025) Afterwards they’ll just discard him when the backlash inevitably hits, let him take all the blame…

@troyjackson207.bsky.social, Susan Collins is “deeply concerned” as usual. At the 11th hour before the #Midterms, she’s called out OMB. Come on! She’s been a rubber stamp for almost 2 years. 🙄 @npr.org reports.

🟠 UPDATE Trump Cancels $1bn in Congressional Funding for Immigrant Services The White House announced a plan to cut $810 million in bipartisan, congressionally approved funding. This specific amount and the immediate bipartisan criticism from lawmakers constitute new details compared to the previous summary which cited a $1 billion cut. 📰…

Heres another little problem. There isint shit we can do ouside voting or starving. The US is bigger than the entire EU and way more spread out. Too many idiots let idiots get into power. And anytime we bring up revolting or revolutions we get made fun of for the 2nd amendment existing. So not really much to do there.

Trump sought on Friday to unilaterally withhold more than $800 million in spending on immigration, race and education that Congress has approved.

The education system of the U.S. has been under attack by the right wing of it's political system and is grossly underfunded. As well, mistrust in it's teachers has been encouraged leading to staggering losses of qualified people abandoning the profession. Sad.

This "pocket recission" is most likely illegal, as determined by the GAO. https://www. cnbc.com/2026/09/26/white-hous e-810-million-pocket-rescission.html https://www. pbs.org/newshour/politics/trum p-administration-uses-rare-authority-to-claw-back-nearly-1b-in-spending-approved-by-congress # PocketRecission

It wasn't rare authority. It was an illegal order. It wasn't spending approved by congress, it was spending mandated by law. This wasn't a clever maneuver by the Trump administration. It was a crime and should be referred to as such.

And what are you prepared to do if the Dems get elected and nothing substantial changes? Or worse, what are you prepared to do if the Dems don't win, or win but Trump escalates and removes any pretence to democracy?

RE: https:// mastodon.social/@RonSupportsYo u/117339720508394649 The Trump Administration refuses to spend money that Congress approved for programs that serve "refugees and unaccompanied minors accused of being in the country illegally," calling it "the most harmful government spending." The most harmful government spending really is money spent…

But I heard that Susan Collins is concerned! I’m sure that since the administration stopped the FBI investigations into her, she’ll see that they are doing what’s best for the American people!

'Sen.

Mr Trump, Congrats! If you can find $39 billion more to cut in helping refugees and unaccompanied children, you will eliminate the debt. Maybe there are some disabled vets and blind people you can cut off. https://www. yahoo.com/news/politics/articl es/trump-administration-uses-rare-authority-234521611.html
