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.

    There is nothing that dumpy is doing that cannot be undone or re-done by a future president.

    Relying on a president that changes every 4-8 years to make overwhelming changes is going to cause a lot of issues. If we thought government was dysfunctional before, just wait until it’s maliciously dysfunctional.

      I think all the suffering brought on by his stupid, selfish, cruel decisions can’t just be “fixed” by the next president.

        The system is broken and will never work. It’s a downward spiral until the next collapse. Obviously i’m cynical but unfortunately my cynicism is rarely wrong :\
