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.

      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.

        And there it is! The both-sides-bad anti-liberal argument you always hear from a Tankie who probably supported Trump from the start.

              The more you explained your point the less support you got. How do you think you have more support here dude? You’re way in the negatives.

              Fuck why am I arguing with someone who can’t figure out one digit numbers. Have a nice one dude.

                Most people wouldn’t waste time looking past the first couple of comments, you already outed yourself as an authoritarian promoting centrism.

        Voting dem is the solution, I support voting dem.

        Dems introduce bills for public healthcare, campaign finance laws, and taxing the rich. Get 60 dems in office, and keep them there for when the tax laws expire again (we just lost this cycle) and everything will fall into place.
