  1. We are one week down and the Republicans have decided the power of the purse doesn’t matter if Trump is in office.

    If the courts uphold it the next Democratic president should keep this important and valuable policy in place for red states.

  3. I swear there’s a term for directives of Congress that are passed by both chambers and signed by the president.

    Dude is basically just saying that Congressional law is merely just a suggestion. And honestly with the way this admin behaves, he’s right.

    So is Trump just speedrunning economic collapse, or what’s the actual goal here?

    Clearly it’s not economic success, it’s not international leadership, it’s not solving domestic issues, is it just completely undermine institutions to establish a republican dictatorship? Cuz that’s what it feels like…
